No, apparently not. According to the Wikipedia article on
Callicoon, New York (T-H-L), the CDP named Callicoon is part of a
different town called
Delaware, New York (T-H-L). Judging from the coordinates given for these locations in their Wikipedia articles, Delaware (NY) and Callicoon (CDP) are about 10–15km southwest of Callicoon (NY).
Edit:
There seems to be something fishy about one or more of these articles. On my first cursory inspection I didn't notice that the purported coordinates Wikipedia gives for Delaware (NY) place it about 3.3', or about 6km, east of Calicoon (CDP), and about 3km east of the nearest built-up area, another small town labelled "Hortonville" in Google maps. A Google maps search for "Delaware, NY, USA" drops a pin in the middle of a dairy farm a couple of km to the north of the location given by Wikipedia.
The coordinates Wikipedia gives for Callicoon (CDP) place it fairly close to a small town labelled "Callicoon" in Google maps, and those it gives for Callicoon place this latter about 3km east of another small town labelled "Callicoon Center" on Google maps, about 15km north-east of Google maps' Callicoon. It would also appear that Wikipedia's Callicoon (CDP) is Google maps' Callicoon, and Wikipedia's Callicoon (town) is Google maps' Callicoon Center.
Further edit: As Andy surmised, the confusion seems to stem from British and Australian (in my case) misunderstanding of the term "town", as it is apparently used in New York state. Apparently the "
town" of Delaware is a "municipal corporation" comprising several small communities, including both Callicoon (CDP) and Hortonville. Apparently Wikipedia's Callicoon (CDP) is Google maps' Callicoon, and Wikipedia's Callicoon (NY) is another "town" (i.e. municipal corporation) which includes Google maps' Callicoon Center as one of its component communities.
