Richmond is not part of any county. "Like all Virginia municipalities incorporated as cities, it is an independent city and not part of any county." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond,_Virginia) As far as I can tell, it's not part of any township either, since all the townships seem to be part of a county. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Indiana_townships_by_county) (I could be wrong, though. There are 16 townships in Indiana called Wayne Township, and I didn't check them all.) On the other hand, an example would be the town of Fowler, Indiana, which is part of Center Township, which is part of Benton County. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
