In Oregon the smallest incorporated town is Greenhorn--located on a ridge of the Blue Mountains between Grant and Baker Counties in Eastern Oregon. The population of the town seems to vary between a current population of 2 and a population of 0 in the 2000 census. Also, it seems that there's been some debate whether the town is actually in either Grant or Baker county.
The town apparently still has a mayor, Frances Villwock, who was still mayor as recently as of 2008 since she's reported as endorsing Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination for President.
Wikipedia states that all incorporated places are cities in "Oregon, Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa." Oregon and Minnesota have been dealt with for the others...
Iowa - Beaconsfield, with 10 people, is interesting as it's the hometown of an astronaut and the first "Hy-Vee store", which is some kind of Midwestern chain. Also I don't seem to be finding smaller, but it doesn't say they're the smallest. Donnan used to be the smallest with seven people but disincorporated.
I can't seem to find Kentucky's. Booneville is a county seat with just a 111 people. There are smaller county seats in North Dakota and Texas and such, but that's pretty small. Booneville has apparently had the same mayor for fifty years.

North Dakota - It used to be Maza, but they have apparently disincorporated so it seems to now be Ruso. (Somehow 8.8% of them have diabetes even though there are just 5 of them. So I guess one of them is 44% diabetic)
I should have probably not been so picky about being 'official'. I guess in Minnesota, it's different. Towns and Villages are different in MN than in other states. So, official or not, aren't there some towns in Nevada with like 2 people?
