List of cities in Kentucky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are 418 cities in the U.S. State of Kentucky that are recognized by the state.
City Classes [edit]
Kentucky cities are divided into six classes based on their population. Over 400 classification-related laws affect public safety, alcohol beverage control, revenue options and others. Lexington and Fayette County merged to create an urban county government (UCG) and Louisville merged with Jefferson County to create a metro government. However, Lexington and Louisville retain their pre-merger classification.[1]
The Kentucky General Assembly has historically only reclassified cities when requested by the city government. If all cities were reclassified according to actual population, about one-third of classifications would change.[1] In particular, Lexington would be a Class 1 city.
| Class | Population | Cities |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100,000 or more | 1 |
| 2 | 20,000 to 99,999 | 13 |
| 3 | 8,000 to 19,999 | 18 |
| 4 | 3,000 to 7,999 | 112 |
| 5 | 1000 to 2,999 | 114 |
| 6 | 999 or less | 160 |
