Has anyone checked this list to verify how many of these places are actually cities? I know for a fact that in Maryland, many of the ones listed are not. Wheaton, for example, is simply an urbanized unincorporated area, not even a census-designated place (it is part of the Wheaton-Glenmont CDP) or a post office (it is served by the Silver Spring post office). The term city has a legal meaning in most, probably all, states. I think that either this page should be renamed to "List of urbanized areas in the United States" or should be pruned to include only legally-defined cities. -- BRG July 12, 2003
