List of United States cities by area

This list ranks U. S. cities by land area (not including bodies of water). Total areas are also given. If ranked by total area, a number of coastal cities would appear disproportionately "larger". San Francisco is an extreme example; water makes up nearly 80% of its total area of 232 mi² (601 km²). The City and County of San Francisco is the fourth most populous city

The list is headed by consolidated city-counties, where a city comprises the whole area of a county (or equivalent), and so may include significant portions of rural areas or even wilderness. In American Local government, a consolidated city-county is a city and county that have been merged into one unified jurisdiction When these cities are removed from consideration, the largest cities are Oklahoma City, Houston, Phoenix, Los Angeles,and San Antonio - all cities that have had few or no geographical constraints to their expansion, whose greatest growth has occurred in the postwar automobile age, and which have had relatively little competition from their neighbors to annex additional land. Oklahoma City is the capital and largest city of the US state of Oklahoma. Phoenix (ˈfiːˌnɪks O'odham Skikik, Yavapai Wasinka, Western Apache Fiinigis, Navajo Hoozdo, Los Angeles (lɑˈsændʒələs los ˈaŋxeles in Spanish) is the largest City in the state of California and the American West
