California is split into 58 counties and has 483 municipalities.[2] One county, San Francisco, is a city-county, which means it is both a municipality and county. In California law, there is no difference between a city and town. This means municipalities can use either name.[3]

The largest municipality by population is Los Angeles, which had 3,898,747 people living there in 2020. The smallest is Amador City, with 200 people living there in 2020.[1]
