What is the difference in a town and a city?
user
It’s a very large difference.  A town can be considered a smaller or a larger version of a city, depending on how many people live there.  A city is a very large, densely populated urban area.  Many people live together in cities, and it’s also the place where a lot of the important decisions are made, where businesses are often located, and many people work.  A town can have any of those things, but they are more likely to be more spread out and smaller.  A city is usually larger and more crowded than a town.

So it is basically just the density?
user
Yes, just the density of people.

What does incorporated mean in regards to a town?
user
To incorporate means to make a town a city.  Usually people incorporate when they want to become a city.  But you can still have towns even after they’ve incorporated.
assistant
Really complicated?
user
Hm, I’m not sure how to explain it...  Can I suggest that I just look up what a city is and what a town is, and I’ll see if I can find any places on the internet where those things are explained?  That might be easier than me trying to give you an accurate explanation.  Is that OK?
assistant
Sure.
