Bermuda has nine "Parishes", originally called "Tribes". Each of the nine parishes with the exception of St. George's covers the same land area of 597 hectares. The Parishes are not administrative divisions, and have no relationship with Bermuda's electoral districts.

Municipalities

Whereas the town of St George's is surrounded by St George's Parish, Hamilton Parish and the city of Hamilton are not close to each other geographically.

Saint George's, the larger of the two municipalities, served as Bermuda's capital until 1815 until the newly established Hamilton replaced it.

Villages

Bermuda has two villages (unincorporated urban areas)
