A village in the U.S. state of Oregon is a model of local governance that only exists in Clackamas County. Like villages elsewhere, it is a subnational entity; like New York's villages, the definition is unique to a state (at the moment, to one county in a state). Villages in Oregon are in addition to hamlets in Oregon (which were defined at the same time as villages) and to Community Planning Organizations (CPOs), which predate both villages and hamlets. In June 2006, citizens in the Mount Hood Corridor communities of Brightwood, Wemme, Welches, Zigzag, and Rhododendron voted to become the Villages at Mount Hood, Oregon's first village. From a census perspective these communities are part of the Mount Hood Village CDP. The residents of Boring voted against forming a village in July 2006 (). Government Camp, another community within the Mount Hood Corridor, is considering a village as a possible governance option. ==Definition== For purposes of the laws related to hamlets and villages, a "citizen" means either *a resident at least 18 years of age living within the boundaries of a hamlet or village, or *a non-resident who owns property or a business there. According to Chapter 2.10 of the Clackamas County Code, a village is A village's boundaries cannot overlap the boundaries of another hamlet, village or city. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Village (Oregon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
