Cities in the United States offer a rich tableau of diversity, not only in their culture, people, and landscapes, but also in their sizes. Spanning across the geographical breadth of the nation, some cities are renowned for their massive land areas, which often surprise those accustomed to densely populated urban centers. The dimensions of these cities are frequently a result of municipal mergers with their surrounding county governments, forming large consolidated city-counties, or in the unique case of Alaska, city-boroughs.
