City requirements

All incorporated communities in Kansas are called cities, unlike in some states where some are called towns or villages..
Once a city is incorporated in Kansas, it will continue to be a city even after falling below the minimum required to become a city, and even if the minimum is later raised. A city can de-incorporate, but if citizens decide to re-incorporate at a later date, then new minimum requirements must be met.
By State law, cities in Kansas are divided into three classes.
