A borough is an administrative division used in various countries. Usually a borough is a single incorporated town, but certain large city corporations or municipalities are subdivided into boroughs, which enables certain municipal functions to be carried out by the borough and thus providing it with a certain level of autonomy. Boroughs exist in the Canadian province of Quebec, in some states of the United States, and formerly in New Zealand. Boroughs are also to be found in the United Kingdom, more specifically in England and Northern Ireland, and in Israel. Borough is also a generic term for municipal regions, and a part of many place names, such as Borough of Queenscliffe in Australia.
As a suffix, -borough (or -brough) appears in the name of a number of towns and cities in England; in the South of England it is usually found in the form -bury. The suffix -bury is also to be found in the New England region of the United States, whilst -burg (or -burgh) is more common in Scotland and the American South and West. The ending -boro is also common in the American South, especially in North Carolina. Borough is a rare surname, most common in the UK and USA.
