What is the Meaning & Definition of Hamlet

A village is a place that is added to a municipality and which is governed by a Mayor himself. Therefore is that the hamlet we can define it as a subnational entity, i.e., is a territorial division that owns a sovereign State at any level, generally, in the administrative policy, although it can also appear with military, judicial, ecclesiastical, aims among others.
Normally, the subnational entity has an administration or a local government that will include counties, municipalities, provinces or towns with certain autonomy on different issues.
Then depending on the country, the village is a subnational entity with autonomy of Government and control over certain rights.
For example, in the Argentina Republic, more specifically in the province of Córdoba, the hamlet are materialized in the subdivisions of departments. Since they do not have a Government and government bodies, the function that mainly deployed is cadastral. Thus in the province of Córdoba, we meet the Calamuchita Department, which in turn is divided into the following districts: Alvarez Canada, mills, condors, Monsalvo, Reartes, Río de los Sauces and Santa Rosa.
And in the case of Spain, the hamlet is one minor local entity, equivalent to some autonomous communities, having full legal capacity and personality for the exercise of the powers which the legislation recognizes him. The hamlet in Spain depends on a municipality and you can enjoy a greater or lesser autonomy with respect to the same. There are around 3,000 districts in the Spanish territory, they tend to be rural character and features of the provinces of Asturias, Cantabria and León.
If you have mentioned autonomy there will be a one-man executive body of direct election, the Mayor. And you must also have a collegiate body of control, which never can be less than two people either overcome the third of the number of Councillors who make up the corresponding Town Hall.
All agreements that are held about provisions of goods, credit operations and forced expropriations must have the consent of the City Council, being confirmed by this.
