No, in Massachusetts at least, it's the form of government.  Boston was the "Town of 
Boston" with a town meeting until it adopted a city form of government in 1820-something.  
Framingham, which is even larger than Brookline, is a town, with a town meeting, while 
Newburyport, which is much smaller, is a city because it has a city form of government.
