Fort Montgomery is legally a hamlet. New York has a few 'hamlets' that are actually small cities. (Levittown, population about 52,000, is the largest of these.) Villages, towns, and cities are incorporated places with their own local governments. Hamlets have no local government other than the township and county that they're in.
