According to Before the Five-Borough City: The Old Cities, Towns and 
Villages That Came Together to Form "Greater New York"

Port Richmond, the Edgewaters, and Tottenville were Un-incorporated Villages 
(i.e., hamlets), and although they are listed as having records, presumably 
had no official Village institutions. The Towns in which they were located 
ceased to be towns and became New York City wards in 1898. I gather that New 
Brighton was an incorporated village (1866), and eventually (1872) was 
extended to cover the entire town of Castleton. There were four other 
Towns -- I don't know about any other incorporated villages. There were many 
other unincorporated hamlets, as listed, e.g., in the the 1860 New York 
State Gazetteer.
