List of incorporated places in New York's Capital District

There are three types of incorporated municipalities in the Capital District of the U.S. state of New York: Cities, towns, and villages. In the State of New York, all the land located in a county is either in a city, in a town, or in an Indian Reservation.^[1] New York villages are located within one or more towns and may cross town or county lines. There are 11 counties in the Capital District comprising 13 cities, 143 towns, and 62 villages.^{[citation needed]} The counties are Albany, Columbia, Greene, Fulton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren, and Washington.^[2] The village of Green Island is coterminous with the town of the same name.^[3] Ballston Spa, Broadalbin, Cambridge, Chatham, Fort Plain, Greenwich, Nassau, and Valley Falls are villages that cross into two towns.^{[citation needed]} The village of Dolgeville is partly in Fulton County, but is mostly in Herkimer County, which is part of the Utica-Rome Metropolitan Statistical Area.^[4]

Ten of the eleven counties of the Capital District make up two Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) and three Micropolitan Statistical Areas (μSA); together, those five statistical areas make up the Albany-Schenectady-Amsterdam Combined Statistical Area. Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, and Schoharie Counties make up the Albany-Schenectady-Troy MSA; while Warren and Washington counties are the constituent counties of the Glens Falls MSA. Fulton County is the sole county in the Gloversville μSA, Montgomery County is the Amsterdam μSA, and Columbia County is the Hudson μSA. Greene County is not in any CSA, MSA, or μSA.^{[citation needed]}
