We have a city styled Town of Watertown, that periodically gets officially referenced as the City of the Town of Watertown.

And then we have Montague City, a sneeze-and-miss-it unincorporated CDP.

Silver City, MI - which is neither a city, nor a village, nor apparently not even anything but a recognized place name.  (Google converts it to "Carp Lake", the township name?)

Do Indianapolis and Minneapolis count?   

[NWI_Irish96]

Cambridge City, IN
Clay City, IN
Gas City, IN
Hartford City, IN

Ironically, even the largest of these "Cities" has less than 6,500 residents.

Don't forget New Jersey's smallest city: Corbin City.  Population: 492.

Others City names with "City" in NJ (And all 4 have populations under 12,000):

Egg Harbor City
Margate City
Ventnor City

City of Atlantic City, NJ
City of Jersey City, NJ
City of Sea Isle City, NJ
City of Ocean City, NJ

In New Jersey, municipality type always follows the name of the municipality - so Trenton is Trenton City, Newark is Newark City, etc.

I don't think that's true.  Newark is "City of Newark" in all their legal definitions, for example.

Oops, I meant that NJDOT refers to them as such in the SLD as found here:

MP 11.00-14.00 lists 'Newark City'.

(New York and Québec both have "city" optional, but most people use it.)

The "Québec City" name (with or without the diacritic) actually has no official status at all. English speakers only use it to remove the confusion. French does not have that problem, as they're distinguished by the use of different prepositions ("à" vs. "au" / "in" vs. "in the [province of]").

Salt Lake City, UT.

What's the deal with this, generally, in Utah? I feel as though "City" can be legitimately appended to any city's name, but only in some cases has become common parlance: Sandy [City], West Valley City, Bountiful [City], Salt Lake City, Brigham City. I have a vague recollection of seeing an official map with "City" appended to every city name on it, which had made me wonder about this ever since.

Certainly not in Ohio.

In New Jersey, municipality type always follows the name of the municipality - so Trenton is Trenton City, Newark is Newark City, etc. I don't know of any places in New Jersey that have 'City' in the name that aren't classified as a New Jersey city.

This is how databases, tax lists, etc., list municipal names.  I have generally assumed this is just to make clear the distinction between, say, boroughs and townships that share the same name (which hardly matters, since there are plenty of both with duplicates) and not an official naming convention.

Different municipalities officially style their names differently.  With six Washingtons, for example — at least three of them townships — the one in Bergen is styled "Township of Washington" to distinguish itself from the other "Washington Townships."  The funny thing is that it is almost universally referred to locally as "Washington Township" (or even just "the Township," since it's the only municipality in that area that anyone distinguishes as being a township anymore).

Well, that would be why I said "in Utah".

In Michigan, we have the following official names, among others:

• Village of Mackinaw City
• City of Traverse City
• City of the Village of Clarkston
• City of the Village of Douglas

I wasn't aware of the Michigan cities with "Village of" in their name. That's bizarre.

City of the Village of Grosse Point Shores
City of Orchard Lake Village (just to be backwards)

A lot of the signs for Walker say "City of Walker, City Limits", but thankfully, it's not the City of City of Walker. It's just poor sign design.

[bulldog1979]

City of the Village of Grosse Point Shores

It's even more bizzare... their legal name is "Village of Grosse Pointe Shores, A Michigan City", but I would use the format you used... Someone should standardize Grosse Pointe Shores, Clarkston and Douglas to a more normal naming convention.

Verdugo City, which is actually a part of Glendale, is one in California. Also Big Bear City.

In Arizona, there is Sun City, Sun City West, Sun City Grand and Sun City Festival, all within a few miles of each other. I'll bet that's a nightmare for the post office! There's also Lake Havasu City, Bullhead City, Tuba City and Black Canyon City.

In Hawaii, a suburb of Honolulu is called Pearl City.

Along with the aforementioned Grove City, Ohio also has Tipp City. I don't think I saw Junction City, Kentucky mentioned. Most of the Indiana ones have been mentioned.
