List of cities in Missouri
Missouri is a state located in the Midwestern United States. In Missouri, cities are put into three groups: 3rd Class, 4th Class, and those under constitutional grants. A few older cities are put in under legislative papers (Carrollton, Chillicothe, LaGrange, Liberty, Miami, Missouri City, and Pleasant Hill) which is not allowed anymore. (Carthage is also a Charter City and Charter Cities not made by legislation and are still allowed to this day). The level at which they are put in is determined by their people when they incorporate. They do not change if they gain or lose in people, unless a vote is held by the people.
A municipality gets put in as a 4th Class city if the number of people is between 500 and 2,999 (under 500, it may be put in as a village[1] – see list of villages in Missouri). It may be put in as a 3rd Class city if the number of people is between 3,000 and 29,999.[2] There is more things cities are allowed to do in government for 3rd Class cities than 4th Class.
