[[English]]
ipa :/ˈtɛɹɪˌtɔɹi/[Etymology]
editInherited from Middle English territorie, from Latin territōrium.
[Noun]
editterritory (countable and uncountable, plural territories)
1.A large extent or tract of land; for example a region, country or district.
2.(Canada) One of three of Canada's federated entities, located in the country's Arctic, with fewer powers than a province and created by an act of Parliament rather than by the Constitution: Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.
3.(Australia) One of three of Australia's federated entities, located in the country's north and southeast, with fewer powers than a state and created by an act of Parliament rather than by the Constitution: Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory and Jervis Bay Territory.
4.A geographic area under control of a single governing entity such as state or municipality; an area whose borders are determined by the scope of political power rather than solely by natural features such as rivers and ridges.
5.1711 August 9, “The Love of Glory”, in The Spectator[1], volume 3:
Lewis of France had his infancy attended by crafty and worldly men, who made extent of territory the most glorious instance of power, and mistook the acquisition of fame, for the spreading of honour.
6.2013 August 3, “Boundary problems”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8847:
Economics is a messy discipline: too fluid to be a science, too rigorous to be an art. Perhaps it is fitting that economists’ most-used metric, gross domestic product (GDP), is a tangle too. GDP measures the total value of output in an economic territory. Its apparent simplicity explains why it is scrutinised down to tenths of a percentage point every month.
7.(ecology) An area that an animal of a particular species consistently defends against its conspecifics.
8.(sports and games) The part of the playing field or board over which a player or team has control.

11.1993, Robert D. Hisrich & Ralph W. Jackson, Selling and Sales Management, →ISBN, page 160:

12.A location or logical space which someone owns or controls.
13.1979, Raymond Lifchez & Barbara Winslow, Design for Independent Living, →ISBN, page 97:
The establishment of a personal territory almost invariably precedes the sharing of a territory with a mate. For those who are unable to make a break from the parental home, this stage is almost never reached.
14.2010, Christian Müller-Tomfelde, Tabletops - Horizontal Interactive Displays, →ISBN, page 371:
In general, when a group member wanted an item that was located in someone else's personal territory, they would ask that person to pass them the item.
15.2014, Stevi Jackson & Shaun Moores, The Politics of Domestic Consumption, →ISBN, page 305:
Now that the days of handbag-carrying women have largely drawn to a close, houseworkers rarely have a clearly marked-out personal territory — although for some the dressing-table may be a non-transportable handbag equivalent.
16.A market segment or scope of professional practice over which an organization or type of practitioner has exclusive rights.

20.12 July 2012, Sam Adams, AV Club Ice Age: Continental Drift
The matter of whether the world needs a fourth Ice Age movie pales beside the question of why there were three before it, but Continental Drift feels less like an extension of a theatrical franchise than an episode of a middling TV cartoon, lolling around on territory that’s already been settled.

[Noun]
editEnglish Wikipedia has an article on:townWikipedia town (countable and uncountable, plural towns)
1.A settlement; an area with residential districts, shops and amenities, and its own local government; especially one larger than a village and smaller than a city, historically enclosed by a fence or walls, with total populations ranging from several hundred to more than a hundred thousand (as of the early 21st century)
This town is really dangerous because these youngsters have Beretta handguns.
2.1920, Birmingham Archaeological Society, Transactions and Proceedings for the Year, page 142:
Apparently the first reference to the making of the town walls of Stafford (it appears pretty clear that the town was never surrounded by one continuous wall or stockade, but partly by one and partly by the other) occurs in the Patent Rolls, from which we find that in 1225 permission was granted by the king to the "good men of Stafford” to collect customs or tolls for a period to enable them to enclose the town.
3.2001, Thomas Brennan, “Town and country in France , 1550–1750”, in S. R. Epstein, editor, Town and Country in Europe, 1300-1800, page 250:
Walls separated town and country through much of the early modern period. Walls not only protected towns, they also helped give them a sense of autonomy and identity.
4.2011, Mikuláš Teich, Dušan Kováč, Martin D. Brown, Slovakia in History, page 42:
Fortifications and town walls clearly highlight the central military significance of towns.
5.2013 May 10, Audrey Garric, “Urban canopies let nature bloom”, in The Guardian Weekly[1], volume 188, number 22, page 30:
As towns continue to grow, replanting vegetation has become a form of urban utopia and green roofs are spreading fast. Last year 1m square metres of plant-covered roofing was built in France, as much as in the US, and 10 times more than in Germany, the pioneer in this field. In Paris 22 hectares of roof have been planted, out of a potential total of 80 hectares.
6.2014, Norman John Greville Pounds, An Economic History of Medieval Europe, page 228:
The medieval town, at least in continental Europe, was walled, and without its defences it was no town.
7.Any more urbanized centre than the place of reference.
I'll be in Yonkers, then I'm driving into town to see the Knicks at the Garden tonight.

Judge Short had gone to town, and Farrar was off for a three days' cruise up the lake. I was bitterly regretting I had not gone with him when the distant notes of a coach horn reached my ear, and I descried a four-in-hand winding its way up the inn road from the direction of Mohair.

- Earlier *srēn, cognate with Old Prussian straunay, Lithuanian strė́nos, srė́nos f pl (“loins”), Latvian striena (“loins”) and Avestan 𐬭𐬁𐬥𐬀- (rāna-, “thigh”), from Proto-Indo-European *srḗn (“hip, loins”). Further disputed connection with Ancient Greek ῥάχις (rhákhis, “spine, chine”).[2]
- Cognate with Tocharian A āriñc, Tocharian B arañce (“heart”) and Hittite 𒄩𒄩𒊑 (ḫa-ḫa-ri- /ḫaḫri-/, “lungs ~ midriff ?”) (exact meaning uncertain), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eh₂-ri-, *h₂eh₂-r-en- (“an internal organ”). Compare also Old Irish áru and Welsh aren (“kidney”).[3][4][5]

That model is still prevalent today.
