List of municipalities in Louisiana facts for kids
Louisiana is a state in the Southern United States. It's the 25th most populated state, with over 4.6 million people. It's also the 33rd largest state by land area, covering about 43,200 square miles (111,800 km²). Louisiana is special because it's divided into 64 areas called parishes, which are like counties in other states.
Within these parishes, there are 304 different towns and cities, known as municipalities. These municipalities cover only a small part of Louisiana's land, but they are where most of the state's people live.
The rules for how a place becomes a municipality depend on how many people live there. If an area wants to become a municipality, it needs to have a certain number of residents. Municipalities are then sorted into three groups based on their population:
- Cities: These are places with 5,000 people or more.
- Towns: These have between 1,001 and 4,999 people.
- Villages: These are the smallest, with 1,000 people or fewer.
If a municipality's population grows or shrinks, its classification can change. The governor can update its status if local leaders ask for it and a new count shows the population has changed enough. These municipalities have the power to do things local governments need to do, like collecting taxes and managing their own money.
The biggest city in Louisiana by population is New Orleans, with 383,997 residents in 2020. The smallest is Mound, with only 12 residents. New Orleans is also the largest by land area, covering about 169 square miles (439 km²). The smallest by land area is Napoleonville, which is only about 0.17 square miles (0.44 km²). The very first municipality to be officially recognized was Natchitoches way back in 1712. The newest one is Central, which became a city in 2005.
