[Talk-us] Retagging hamlets in the US

[John F. Eldredge]

In some cases, these "hamlets" may be separate legal entities, even though 
surrounded by the city.  For example, Davidson County, Tennessee, and the 
city of Nashville merged in 1963 into a shared Metropolitan government. 
However, six smaller municipalities within the county chose to keep partial 
autonomy. Growth of Nashville means that only road signs show that you have 
crossed over into these municipalities, but they maintain their own police 
forces.
