A commune is an administrative subdivision of various European (including Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Romania, and the Scandinavian countries) and African countries, notably Senegal. Within its territory it is the modern heir of the Medieval commune.
Commune is sometimes translated as "municipality"' or "township". It corresponds to individual hamlets, villages, towns, cities, or groupings of them, which are governed by a mayor and a city/municipal council.
