POPULATION BY STATE OF AMERICA'S SMALLEST TOWNS

Below is a list of the population by state of the smallest towns in America.

Towns go by many different names, depending on things like political structure, population, location and land area. Other names for towns include cities, municipalities, boroughs, villages, townships, and plantations. Unincorporated towns are sometimes called hamlets. All of these terms are referred to collectively as "census-designated places" (CDP).

A town is like a city, only smaller, and usually has elected offcials, such as a mayor. But old towns die hard, and some have actually reached a population of zero before becoming officially disincorporated.

Since exact definitions are a matter of debate, let's say, for the sake of this page, that an incorporated town is a town with its own zip code, and at least one permanent resident.

Below is a list of states, with the name, population (as of the 2000 census), and zip code of the smallest incorporated town in each state.
