List of United States cities by area
- List of United States cities by area
This list ranks U.S. cities by land area (not including bodies of water). Total areas are also given. If ranked by total area, a number of coastal cities would appear disproportionately "larger". San Francisco is an extreme example; water makes up nearly 80% of its total area of 232 mi² (601 km²).
The list is headed by consolidated city-counties, where a city comprises the whole area of a county (or equivalent), and so may include significant portions of rural areas or even wilderness. When these cities are removed from consideration, the largest cities are Oklahoma City, Houston, Phoenix, Los Angeles and San Antonio - all western cities that have had few or no geographical constraints to their expansion, whose greatest growth has occurred in the postwar automobile age, and which have had relatively little competition from their neighbors to annex additional land.
