Van Buren Township in Michigan is not found in geonames database when queried as a populated place.

This township is also known by other names that are not in the database. These should be added as alternate names such as

Does a populated place exist of this name? I have the impression all buildings and addresses are part of Belleville. Van Buren looks more like an administrative construct. Does anybody refer to it with the meaning of a populated place?

Marc,
The populated place like that exists in Michigan. Here is the link to their website.
https://vanburen-mi.org/.
It also is the administrative division.
Could you fix this in the datbase?
Thanks,
Andy
