Borough, municipality, district
Sentence (it's my translation):
It happened in the countryside, at Bergua, borough of Broto .
I would like to know if I can say borough here, or should I say district, municipality or some other particular word.
Context:
Bergua is a very small village without Town Hall (population: 37 inhabitants). It depends of the Town Hall (municipality) of Broto. Broto is part of the judicial district of Boltaña, the province of them all is Huesca, the Autonomous Region is Aragón and the country is Spain.

It is used in only a few places in the US. It really depends on the words that the government uses to denote geographical areas. In the US, most large cities are divided into voting districts. New

If so, would it be correct to say Bergua, municipality of Broto?
I remind you that Broto doesn't have a Town Hall; this small village depends of the Broto Town Hall.

I would not call it a borough or a municipality, as both of these would suggest a proper town with some form of local government.
It happened in the countryside at Bergua, a district/village/ hamlet/community in the borough of Broto. (Community would be used in North Carolina, where I live, but it might not be immediately u
