Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Helen Carter: I always translate freguesia as 'borough' - I live in the borough of Barosa, which is one of many in the Municipality/Council of Leiria, District of Leiria. These are the terms I use for Portugal; England is divided differently, of course.
