List of cities in Connecticut

List of Cities in Connecticut is a comprehensive catalog of the municipalities in the U.S. state of Connecticut. Connecticut is divided into 169 towns, which are grouped into eight counties. Each town may contain incorporated cities or boroughs, as well as unincorporated villages.

Overview

Connecticut's system of towns is unique in the United States, as all land is incorporated into towns and there are no unincorporated areas or townships. The Connecticut General Assembly grants municipalities the ability to govern themselves. Towns traditionally have a town meeting form of government, while cities have a mayor-council form. However, the state allows towns and cities to choose their own government structure.
