municipality head


Explanation:
County is not what we understand for municipio, at least in Argentina.
You use town when you are not speaking about the district. Evidently, if it has a head (cabecera), it refers to a district, not to the town.
This is my view. I'm a native Sp. speaker.
Hope it helps

neutral  Seth Phillips: Head would be a person. Municipal seat would read better. Also, cabacera has a different meaning here in Mexico.
