Category:Town supervisors in New York (state)

This category is for people who have held the office of Supervisor of a town in the State of New York. Historically, the supervisors of the several towns in a county formed with the supervisors elected in the wards of the cities the Board of Supervisors, the county legislature. This system is still maintained in 17 counties in New York, the other counties (outside New York City) adopted a system of county legislatures with members elected in districts according to the number of inhabitants, independent of town boundaries. These modern county legislators, and historical supervisors elected in cities, should be added in the parent category "County legislators".
