77-513: Lockbourne is a village in Franklin County and Pickaway County , Ohio , United States. The population was 236 at the 2020 census . Lockbourne is located near Rickenbacker International Airport , and had initially provided its original name of Lockbourne Air Force Base. Lockbourne was laid out in the early 1830s. It takes its name from the locks of the Ohio and Erie Canal , on which it
154-523: A special district or a municipality. As a municipality, a village may Under Article 10, Section 2 of the Alaska Constitution , as well as law enacted pursuant to the constitution, Alaska legally recognizes only cities and boroughs as municipal entities in Alaska. In Alaska, "village" is a colloquial term used to refer to small communities, which are mostly located in the rural areas of
231-437: A special district or an unincorporated area . It may or may not be recognized for governmental purposes. In informal usage, a U.S. village may be simply a relatively small clustered human settlement without formal legal existence. In colonial New England , a village typically formed around the meetinghouses that were located in the center of each town . Many of these colonial settlements still exist as town centers . With
308-512: A special tax district . An example of the latter is the Village of Friendship Heights . The distinction is legally relevant to the level of police power that a village may exercise. In Michigan , villages differ from cities in that, whereas villages remain part of the townships in which they are formed, thereby reducing their home-rule powers, cities are not part of townships. Because of this, village governments are required to share some of
385-554: A " village " is a type of administrative division at the local government level. Since the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the federal government from legislating on local government, the states are free to have political subdivisions called "villages" or not to and to define the word in many ways. Typically, a village is a type of municipality , although it can also be
462-479: A contract for pavement, other oddities happened with I-70 as well. As first proposed, the western terminus of I-70 was to be Denver . Utah and Colorado, however, pressured the federal government to extend the planned freeway farther west, arguing a direct link between Denver and Salt Lake City was vital for an effective highway system. The proposal was to follow what is now US 6 west and connect to I-15 at Spanish Fork, Utah . Federal planners, influenced by
539-563: A few hundred people along I-70's path in Utah. The second town with more than a few hundred people served by I-70 is Salina . Upon leaving the valley near Salina, I-70 crosses the 7,923-foot (2,415 m) Salina Summit and then crosses a large geologic formation called the San Rafael Swell . Prior to the construction of I-70, the swell was inaccessible via paved roads and relatively undiscovered. Once this 108-mile (174 km) section
616-573: A median income of $ 26,875 versus $ 25,500 for females. The per capita income for the village was $ 14,802. About 5.1% of families and 9.5% of the population were below the poverty line , including 9.1% of those under the age of eighteen and 6.1% of those sixty five or over. While Rickenbacker Airport is extremely close to Lockbourne, very few commercial flights land or take off at Rickenbacker, and many Columbus-area commercial flights are scheduled at John Glenn International Airport . Many smaller general aviation airports are also located close to Lockbourne,
693-407: A relatively small community within an incorporated city or town, may be termed a village. This informal usage may be found even in states that have villages as incorporated municipalities and is similar to the usage of the term "unincorporated town" in states having town governments. States that formally recognize villages vary widely in the definition of the term. Most commonly, a village is either
770-584: A village in New York; Hempstead , the largest village in the state, has 55,000 residents, making it more populous than some of the state's cities. However, villages in the state may not exceed five square miles (13 km ) in area. Present law requires a minimum of 500 residents to incorporate as a village. The municipalities in North Carolina are cities, towns, and villages. There are no significant differences in legal power or status. In Ohio ,
847-418: A village is a municipality of 100 through 800 inhabitants, whereas a city must have at least 800 inhabitants. In counties having townships, all villages, but only some cities, are within township areas. A city of the second class (800-5,000 inhabitants) may elect to revert to village status. In New Hampshire , a village district or precinct may be organized within a town. Such a village district or precinct
SECTION 10
#1732791940923924-423: A village is an incorporated area that differs from a city in that a village is within the jurisdiction of one or more towns , whereas a city is independent of a town. Villages thus have less autonomy than cities. A village is usually, but not always, within a single town. A village may be coterminous with, and have a consolidated government with, a town. A village is a clearly defined municipality that provides
1001-443: A village is an incorporated municipality with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants, excluding residents of educational or correctional facilities. The minimum population for incorporation as a village is 1,600 inhabitants, but this was not always the case, resulting in many very small villages. If an existing village's population surpasses 5,000 at a federal census, or if a village comes to have more than 5,000 resident registered voters, it
1078-536: A village is defined as a tract of land with more than 300 people where livestock are not allowed to roam free. Villages are erected by local circuit courts. In Vermont , villages are named communities located within the boundaries of a legally established town , unlike cities, which are outside of any town area. Villages may be incorporated or unincorporated. In West Virginia , towns and villages are Class IV municipalities, i.e., having 2,000 or fewer inhabitants. In Wisconsin , cities and villages are both outside

A village in Louisiana is a municipality having a population of 1,000 or fewer. In Maine , village corporations or village improvement corporations are special districts established in towns for limited purposes. In Maryland , a locality designated "Village of ..." may be either an incorporated town or
1309-602: Is a special district with limited powers. A village in the context of New Jersey local government, refers to one of five types and one of eleven forms of municipal government. Villages in New Jersey are of equal standing to other municipalities, such as cities, towns, boroughs, and townships. The municipalities in New Mexico are cities, towns, and villages. There are no differences among them that would affect their classification for census purposes. In New York ,
1386-592: Is approximately the southern city limits of "City of Kansas" when it was incorporated in 1853. The first two auto bridges in Missouri mark the city's original boundaries with the Buck O'Neil Bridge (US 169) being the west boundary while the Heart of America Bridge ( Route 9 ) is the east boundary. Another intersection of note is the second traverse of I-435 . This is primarily notable because it immediately precedes
1463-433: Is automatically designated as a city. Cities or villages may be located within township areas; however, if a city or village becomes coterminous with a township, the township ceases to exist as a separate government (see paper township ). In Oklahoma , unincorporated communities are called villages and are not counted as governments. In Oregon , the municipal governments are cities, towns, and villages, although there
1540-426: Is characterized by sharp curves, limited sight distance, narrow shoulders, and lack of merge lanes at interchanges. Traffic on cloverleaf ramps must weave in the right throughlane of traffic due to the lack of a third lane for entering and exiting traffic. Other on- and offramps effectively function as right-in/right-out interchanges, forcing vehicles to weave in and out of the exit lane. The speed limit on this stretch
1617-442: Is no significance in their legal powers or status. Also, one county — Clackamas County — permits the organization of unincorporated areas into villages and hamlets. The boards of such entities are advisory to the county. In Texas , villages may be Type B or Type C municipalities, but not Type A municipalities. The types differ in terms of population and in terms of the forms of government that they may adopt. In Virginia ,

I-670 connects John Glenn Columbus International Airport with I-270, I-71, and I-70. East of Columbus, I-70 passes through Zanesville and on to Cambridge , where it intersects I-77 . Continuing on toward West Virginia , I-70 intersects I-470 just east of St. Clairsville . I-470
1771-607: Is primarily used for through traffic and to avoid The Winter Festival of Lights traffic during the Christmas season from Oglebay Park . In March 1995, a hole (from a former coal mine) opened up on the eastbound side of I-70 in Guernsey County near Old Washington and caused traffic to be rerouted onto US 40 between Old Washington and Cambridge for several months. The portion of I-70 in West Virginia crosses

No suspect has ever been apprehended despite the widespread publicity the murders generated, including their being featured several times on the television show America's Most Wanted and Unsolved Mysteries . John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo ,
2002-605: The Kansas River on the Intercity Viaduct into Downtown Kansas City, Missouri . After crossing the Intercity Viaduct , I-70 enters Missouri. It encounters a loop of freeways, called the Downtown Loop , which contains I-70 as well as I-35 , I-670 , US 24 , US 40 , US 71 , and US 169 . In the southern part of this loop, I-670 cuts directly through the downtown while I-70 bypasses
2079-790: The Mississippi River on the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge , connecting with an extension of I-44 , which takes the former I-70 route through Downtown St. Louis to meet I-55 at its connection to the Poplar Street Bridge . The 1985 World Series between the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals was nicknamed the "I-70 Series" because St. Louis and Kansas City are the two endpoints of I-70 in Missouri , and
2156-524: The Missouri River , at its northern terminus. From I-635 to just past the US ;169 (7th Street) exit, I-70 runs adjacent Union Pacific Railroad 's Armourdale Yard. Here, I-670 (also designated "Alternate 70" on some signs) diverges, providing a more direct route that rejoins I-70 proper a few miles east in Missouri. The highway passes over the former stockyards and railyard when it crosses
2233-587: The Ohio River at Wheeling and runs through the Wheeling Tunnel . I-70 has only one throughlane in each direction at the tunnel. A major interchange was planned but never completed on the east side of the Wheeling Tunnel. Upon merging with I-470, I-70 goes uphill toward Dallas Pike. This part of the road is called "Two Mile Hill", which is known locally for the many accidents at the bottom of
2310-573: The Pennsylvania state line near Hancock east across the central portion of the state toward Baltimore , following the route of the National Road , now known as US 40 . It is a major east–west highway in the state, serving the cities of Hagerstown and Frederick and bypassing Ellicott City .

Commuters park on the pavement where high-speed freeway lanes were to be. The former freeway from I-695 to MD 122 is being converted into a two-lane parkway to be renamed Cooks Boulevard, maintained by the Maryland State Highway Administration . The highway gave its name to
2772-512: The I-465 beltway, which carries a multitude of unsigned U.S. Highways and Indiana state roads. I-70 continues on nearly due east from this point, first traveling through suburban Indianapolis and then transitioning into rural east central Indiana, where it passes just to the south of New Castle . Upon reaching the Richmond area, US 35 joins I-70 just before both routes leave Indiana together and enter Ohio. I-70 enters Ohio just east of
2849-509: The Missouri River twice (as did the original US 40)—at Rocheport , about 15 miles (24 km) west of Columbia, and at St. Charles , about 20 miles (32 km) northwest of St. Louis. Most of the highway on this stretch is four lanes. Various proposals have been made to widen it (at an estimated cost of $ 3.5 billion) including turning it into a toll road. I-70 eventually gets into Greater St. Louis , and US 40 splits to

Because most New England villages were contained within the boundaries of legally established towns, many such villages were never separately incorporated as municipalities. A relatively small unincorporated community , similar to a hamlet in New York state, or even
3003-547: The area of any town . Cities and villages differ in terms of the population and population density required for incorporation. Interstate 70 Interstate 70 ( I-70 ) is a major east–west Interstate Highway in the United States that runs from I-15 near Cove Fort, Utah , to I-695 and Maryland Route 570 (MD 570) in Woodlawn , just outside Baltimore , Maryland. I-70 approximately traces

As I-70 leaves the foothills, it goes through Denver and intersects I-25 , serving as the central east–west artery through the city. Leaving Denver, I-70 levels out and traverses the wide plains through eastern Colorado. East of Denver, I-70 makes a broad turn to the south-southeast for 30 miles (48 km), before reaching Limon and resuming its eastward journey toward Kansas. Coming from Colorado, I-70 enters

The 1985 World Series was a contest between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals and won by the Royals. As these cities are primarily connected by I-70, the media has often called the series and the two teams' interleague rivalry the I-70 Series. I-70 has one of
3311-621: The east side of Dayton. Springfield is the next city, the site of Buck Creek State Park . I-70 then encounters Columbus . Columbus is bounded by I-270 and is roughly centered on the intersection of I-70 and I-71 , which share the same asphalt through a notoriously congested 1.5-mile (2.4 km) stretch locally known as the "South Innerbelt" or, more commonly, "The Split". This stretch has I-71 concurrent with I-70, where I-71 enters and exits from opposite sides of I-70, causing traffic getting on I-70 from I-71 northbound to have to cross four lanes of I-70 traffic to continue on I-71. A similar issue
3388-522: The fact the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad occupied the south bank, and many temporary construction projects took place to keep US 6 open, at the time the only east–west road in the area. Much of the highway is elevated above the Colorado River . The speed limit in this section is 50 mph (80 km/h) due to the limited sight distance and sharp corners. The Eisenhower Tunnel ,
3465-698: The first Interstate in the United States. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has claimed the section of I-70 through Glenwood Canyon in Colorado , completed in 1992, to be the last piece of the Interstate Highway System , as originally planned, to open to traffic. The construction of I-70 in Colorado and Utah is considered an engineering marvel, as the route passes through the Eisenhower Tunnel , Glenwood Canyon, and
3542-542: The first time, which allows travelers to bypass the downtown traffic via I-435, which encircles the Kansas City metropolitan area . Further down the highway in Kansas City, approximately three miles (4.8 km) before the 18th Street Expressway, I-70 is intersected again by another auxiliary route. This route, I-635 , runs from I-35 at its southern terminus up to I-29 , just about five miles (8.0 km) across
3619-470: The freeway through Glenwood Canyon Colorado was the last major section of freeway on I-70 to be completed and widely heralded as an environmental and engineering success. As a result of freeway revolts in the Baltimore area, I-70 was not completed east of MD 122 to its planned terminus at I-95 within the city of Baltimore, and it now ends at a four-way symmetrical stack interchange with I-695 ,
3696-479: The freeway. This stretch of I-70 is one of the few gaps on the Interstate Highway System. I-70 continues on almost due south to the Maryland border after leaving I-76 (Pennsylvania Turnpike) at Breezewood. This section is posted at 55 mph (89 km/h) and is heavily patrolled. After the border, it meets I-68 's eastern end and turns east toward Baltimore and Washington DC . In Maryland , I-70 runs from
3773-860: The highest vehicular tunnel in North America and the longest tunnel built under the Interstate program, passes through the Continental Divide . Because of the rugged and narrow terrain of the Rocky Mountains , I-70 is one of few roads connecting Colorado's ski resorts with Denver . Descending through the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, one can see the Denver skyline on a clear day. This can fool truckers and other unsuspecting drivers because one must still traverse 10 miles (16 km) of steep grade road before reaching
3850-609: The highway passes within sight of both the Royals' Kauffman Stadium and, at the time, the Cardinals' Busch Stadium . After crossing the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge , I-70 merges with I-55, while I-64 splits off I-55. When the routes intersect I-270, I-55 stays on its own pavement using the mileposts from the Poplar Street Bridge, while I-70 heads east on I-270's pavement using I-270's mileposts. Because of this arrangement, when I-55/I-70 intersects I-270 from
3927-590: The hill. I-70 has brought major development in Ohio County , the only county the route passes through in West Virginia, in the past few years. On the north side of the highway, a former strip mine was developed into a retail area called The Highlands . This stretch of I-70 is the shortest that I-70 is in any state, traveling only 15 miles (24 km) from the Ohio River to the Pennsylvania border. I-70

#17327919409234004-532: The immediate Kansas City metro area is with I-470 in Independence . After passing Kansas City, I-70 traverses the length of Missouri, west to east. It passes through the largest city between Kansas City and St. Louis, Columbia , which is about halfway between the two major cities and the home of the University of Missouri . The terrain is rolling with some hills and bluffs near rivers. I-70 also crosses
4081-436: The interchange with US 40 at Richmond, Indiana . Immediately to the east of this border, travelers notice a unique teal-blue arch that spans the width of the freeway, with a "Welcome to Ohio" greeting sign above the eastbound lanes. A sign thanking travelers for visiting Ohio is mounted on the other side of the arch for westbound travelers. Continuing eastbound, I-70 intersects I-75 north of Dayton , followed by I-675 on
4158-583: The military, agreed to extend the proposed route of I-70, but not to serve Salt Lake City; the military wanted to better connect Southern California with the Northeastern U.S. This led to I-70's constructed route through the San Rafael Swell terminating at Cove Fort. Many motorists include I-70 as part of their cross-country drives between New York City and Los Angeles (which are accessible to I-70 via other Interstates). Completed in 1992,

Villages that existed in Minnesota as of January 1, 1974, became cities , which may operate under general municipal law ("statutory city") or adopt a charter for itself to become a charter city. A village in Mississippi is a municipality of 100 to 299 inhabitants. They may no longer be created. The municipalities of Missouri are cities, towns, and villages. Unlike cities, villages have no minimum population requirement. In Nebraska ,

Many of these communities are populated predominantly by Alaska Natives and are federally recognized as villages under the Indian Reorganization Act and/or the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act . As voting membership in the Alaska Municipal League is on an equal footing, regardless of population, most villages are incorporated as second-class cities. In common usage, however, these communities are thought of more often as villages than as cities. Village districts are subordinate agencies of municipal governments rather than municipalities in their own right. Municipalities in Delaware are called cities, towns, or villages. There are no differences among them that would affect their classification for census purposes. Municipalities in Florida are called cities, towns, or villages. They are not differentiated for census purposes. All municipalities in Idaho are called cities, although

Entering from Utah, I-70 descends into the Grand Valley , where it meets the Colorado River , which provides its path up the western slope of the Rocky Mountains . Here, I-70 serves the Grand Junction metropolitan area before traversing more mountainous terrain. The last section of I-70 to be completed
4928-617: The taller buildings a few blocks north near the Missouri River . Westbound I-670 is also designated Alternate I-70. Most of the Interstates in this loop are in their second mile, so all exits (no matter which Interstate the road carries) are numbered 2 and suffixed with every letter of the alphabet except for I, O, and Z, leading to the loop's nickname, the Alphabet Loop. The section of I-70 in Downtown Kansas City
5005-417: The terms "town" and "village" are sometimes used in statutes. A village is a type of incorporated municipality in Illinois ; the other two types are the city and the incorporated town . All incorporated municipalities, regardless of type, are independent of each other, and cannot overlap. Villages can be created by referendum under the general state law or by special state charter.
