- List of incorporated cities and towns in California
-
There are 482 incorporated cities and towns in California, of which 460 are called cities and 22 are called towns. Under California law, the terms "city" and "town" are explicitly interchangeable (see, e.g., Government Code Sections 34500-34504); so, the name of a municipal corporation can either be "City of (Name)" or "Town of (Name)" regardless of its population. The term "township" is obsolete; the terms "village" and "borough" have never been used.
Only currently incorporated places are listed. Many ghost towns and other previously incorporated cities and towns ceased to be separately incorporated upon their amalgamation to another city or town; for instance, Willow Glen in 1936 and Alviso in 1968 were consolidated into San Jose. Seventeen cities in California have disincorporated themselves, but only two since 1963. [1] Cabazon did so in 1975, after only 20 years as a city, due to a weak economy.[2]
Population data is based on results of the 2010 United States Census.[3]
