A couple weeks ago, we went on a tour with MOMS Club to the police station in Holmen and I asked about this. He said these signs are maintained by the village and are updated once a year or so. The reason is that Holmen is growing so rapidly that it would be very out of date if they waited 10 years. That also prompted me to ask how big we need to be before we're not considered a village anymore. It turns out that there is no set population for that; the village decides. There's some tax benefits to staying a village so we're staying put. That explains how Galesville can be a city with a lot less people. Oh the things to learn on a MOMS Club tour...
