Talk:Smallest cities in the United Kingdom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
shouldn't Canterbury be on this list? I'm not sure how exhaustive this list is but at any rate the page for Canterbury gives a population of less than Salisbury, and is listed on City_status_in_the_United_Kingdom 82.3.91.188
Hi. I created this page by going through the list of cities on the City status in the United Kingdom page and checking their individual pages for the populations stated. Then I checked the council websites for more up-to-date census information. What I should have done is put my sources up here, sorry about that. Can't do that right now as don't really have an hour free but will get around to it in a while, in the meantime if anyone wants to do this instead it would be very much appreciated. Thanks. --Sachabrunel 19:07, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Oh, also I notice quite a few of the populations have been changed, wouldn't know where those came from. --Sachabrunel 19:11, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Smallest cities in the world
If you want small cities - try Golovin, Alaska, supposedly a city with 144 inhabitants. The rest of the settlements around the Nome area also claim to be cities and are nearly all under 600 inhabitants. Can this be correct? Jack 21:30, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- In the USA pretty much any settlement can be called a "city". In the UK it has a formal definition dependent on the grant of city status by the crown. Hence, it's not surprising there's a massive difference between the smallest "cities" in the two countries. Cheers, DWaterson 00:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
