List of municipalities in Maryland

Map of the United States with Maryland highlighted

townships, areas outside of municipalities have no government below the county level.[4]

With the exception of

Maryland Constitution and state code.[6] Since its separation from Baltimore County in 1851, the City of Baltimore functions more as a county than a city under state law since it exercises charter home rule, which empowers the city with broad legislative authority similar to Maryland's six home rule counties.[7]

The largest municipality by population in Maryland is Baltimore, an independent city, with 585,708 residents, and the smallest municipality by population is Port Tobacco Village with 18 residents.[2] The largest municipality by land area is also Baltimore, which spans 80.94 sq mi (209.6 km2), while Brookview is the smallest at 0.04 sq mi (0.10 km2).[2] Many of Maryland's largest population centers, including Columbia, Germantown, Silver Spring, Waldorf, Glen Burnie, Ellicott City, Dundalk and Bethesda, are unincorporated census designated places.[2]
