States with the most “City” communities

Source: garden-city.org

Listed below are the states with the most communities that include “city” in their name. This includes cities, towns, villages, hamlets, municipalities, unincorporated places, and census designated places. It does not include ghost towns, townships nor equivalent “towns” in Wisconsin, New York and elsewhere.

When one thinks about it, the popularity of Garden City makes sense given humans love living in scenic and/or bucolic locations. What name epitomizes those feelings better? Also among the top ten “city” names are Lake City and Forest City. Peace!
