K, It may take me a while but I will gather data on all US cities, towns, and villages. Any data in particular?

No just how many (the number) local governments there are , towns and cities to begin with and if you have the numbers of counties, too that'll be great. I would need to know the source too, to quote it.

THANKS!!

Seriously, however, you shouldn't even have started a thread like this without first looking up from your computer. There are these things called atlases. I know it sounds hard to believe, but they actually contain such information. And here's the surprising part of the deal: they've been around for centuries!

I couldn't resist at least attempting to find an answer so here goes...

According to the 2000 census there are more than 25 thousand cities/towns/villages incorporated in the US.
