List of municipalities in Louisiana
Louisiana is a state located in the Southern United States. The 2020 United States census says that 4,657,757 people live in Louisiana. It is 43,203.90 square miles (111,897.6 km2) in size. In the United States it is number 25 in population and number 33 in land area.[1]
Louisiana has 64 parishes (counties). It has 304 municipalities (cities, towns, or villages). Four of the municipalities in Louisiana are "consolidated city-parishes". This means that these cities and the counties around them have one government.[2] 7.8% of the state has municipalities on it. 46.4% of people in Louisiana live in municipalities.[1]
Groups of people living in an area can become municipalities if enough people live there.[3] Municipalities can be cities, towns or villages. In Louisiana, a city has at least five thousand people living in it. A town has more than one thousand people living in it, but fewer than five thousand people living in it. A village has one thousand or fewer people living in it.[4] The governor of a municipality can change whether it is a town, city, or village. This happens if the board of aldermen ask for it and if a different number of people live there now.[5]
The biggest municipality in Louisiana is New Orleans. It has the most people (383,997 people live there) and also has the biggest area (169.49 sq mi (439.0 km2)).[6] The municipality with the fewest people is Mound, which has twelve people living in it. The municipality with the smallest area is Napoleonville, which is 0.17 sq mi (0.44 km2) in size.[1] Natchitoches has been a municipality the longest. It has been a municipality since 1712. Central is the newest municipality. It has been a municipality since 2005. [7]

[change | change source]- ↑ Baton Rouge consolidated with East Baton Rouge Parish in 1947, which combined the City of Baton Rouge government with the unincorporated areas of the parish. However, the Census only counts the population within Baton Rouge's city limits. This does not include the unincorporated areas. Baton Rouge would be the largest municipality in the state with a population of 384,452 if the 2010 Census included the consolidated areas in Baton Rouge's population.
- ↑ Houma city is the parish seat of Terrebonne Parish, but is not a governmental unit having consolidated its functions with the parish. Since Houma city retains its city status under state law, the Census Bureau includes it as an incorporated place. Houma would be the largest municipality by land area with an area of 1,231.81 sq mi (and a population of 111,860) if the Census included the consolidated area within Houma's borders.[2]
- ↑ Lafayette was originally known as Vermilionville, which was incorporated in 1826. Its name was changed to Lafayette in 1884. Lafayette city government has been consolidated with Lafayette Parish. Public works and other services, such as land use and plat review, are operated by Lafayette Consolidated Government to serve the City of Lafayette and unincorporated areas of Lafayette Parish. However, the Census only counts the population within city limits. This does not include the unincorporated areas. The population including the consolidated areas is 187,713 and the land area is 222.08 sq mi.[9]
