About the United States
The United States of America is a federal republic comprising 50 states, a federal district, and several territories, spanning nearly 3.8 million square miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Founded on the principles enshrined in the Constitution of 1787, the nation emerged from thirteen British colonies that declared their independence on July 4, 1776, creating one of the world's first modern democracies.
A Nation of 50 States
Each of the 50 states functions as a semi-sovereign entity with its own constitution, governor, and legislature. From the vast expanses of Alaska, the largest state by area, to Rhode Island, the smallest, and from California's 36 million residents to Wyoming's half a million, the diversity among states is staggering. The states are organized into four major Census Bureau regions — Northeast, Midwest, South, and West — each with its own distinct character, climate, and cultural identity. This directory covers all 50 states along with the District of Columbia and 8 US territories including Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands.
Over 25,000 Cities and Towns
The United States is home to a remarkable tapestry of communities. From sprawling metropolises like New York City and Los Angeles, with populations in the millions, to quiet villages of just a few hundred residents nestled in the Appalachian Mountains or scattered across the Great Plains. Each of the 25,973 cities, towns, and villages listed in this directory tells its own story — of founding pioneers, immigrant communities, industrial booms, and the everyday lives of the people who call these places home. Here you will find detailed information on population, demographics, ancestry, elevation, geographic coordinates, ZIP codes, and local government contacts for every incorporated place in the nation.
3,141 Counties
Counties form the primary administrative divisions within each state, though they go by different names depending on the region. Louisiana has parishes, a legacy of its French colonial heritage. Alaska uses boroughs and census areas adapted to its vast wilderness. Virginia and other states have independent cities that operate outside any county jurisdiction. Whatever the name, these 3,141 subdivisions serve as the backbone of local governance, managing everything from law enforcement and public records to road maintenance and property taxation.
