From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  MUNICIPAL. Strictly, this word applies only to what belongs to a city. Among 
  the Romans, cities were called municipia; these cities voluntarily joined 
  the Roman republic in relation to their sovereignty only, retaining, their 
  laws, their liberties, and their magistrates, who were thence called 
  municipal magistrates. With us this word has a more extensive meaning; for 
  example, we call municipal law, not the law of a city only, but the law of 
  the state. 1 Bl. Com. Municipal is used in contradistinction to 
  international; thus we say an offence against the law of nations is an 
  international offence, but one committed against a particular state or 
  separate community, is a municipal offence.
