locale:

... a locality; a location as the scene or setting in which something takes place, for example, the venue for development of a community. Locales are political divisions. For example, locales within US states are separated into ... counties and sometimes townships, and further divided into incorporated cities, towns, villages, and other types of municipalities ... (source of quote). A nation may be identified as a locale: Great Britain was the locale of a significant enterprise and economic development event in the 18th century when it kicked off the Industrial Revolution. Within a country, a locale may exist as an urban area, metropolitan area, micropolitan area, rural area or region. A community locale includes the tract on which there are facilities for living and working as well as the surrounding area to the extent that it fits the definition of local economy.
