List of United States cities by area

(Redirected from List of U.S. cities by area)

This list ranks the top 150 U.S. cities (incorporated places) by 2024 land area. Total areas including water are also given, but when ranked by total area, a number of coastal cities appear disproportionately larger. San Francisco is an extreme example: water makes up nearly 69% of its total area of 232 square miles (601 km2).

In many cases an incorporated place is geographically large because its municipal government has merged with the government of the surrounding county. In some cases the county no longer exists, while in others the arrangement has formed a consolidated city-county (or city-borough in Alaska, or city-parish in Louisiana); these are shown in bold. Some consolidated city-counties, however, include multiple incorporated places. In such cases, this list presents only that portion (or “balance”) of such consolidated city-counties that are not a part of another incorporated place; these are indicated with asterisks (*). Cities that are not consolidated with or part of any county are independent cities, indicated with two asterisks (**). Only cities are in this list, towns are not included. Example, the town of Plymouth in Massachusetts has a land area of 96.5 square miles, which would place it at number 123.
