The U.S. state of Montana contains 129 incorporated municipalities consisting of cities and towns and is divided into 56 counties. Located in the Western United States, Montana is the 7th least populous state with 989,417 inhabitants but the 4th largest by land area spanning 145,545.80 square miles (376,961.9 km2) of land. Montana's municipalities cover only 1.2% of the state's land mass but are home to 53.8% of its population. Municipalities are divided into four classes by state statute based on their population. Members of the three largest classes are deemed cities, while the members of the fourth class are called towns. Cities and towns are classified at the time of their organization, and are reorganized when they change classification due to an increase or decrease in population. The largest municipality by population in Montana is Billings (pictured) with 104,170 residents, and the smallest municipality by population is Ismay with 19 residents. (Full list...)
