List of urbanized areas in California (by population)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A list of urbanized areas in California (sorted into groups by population) is below. This list aggregates cities together into larger urbanized areas whenever possible (for example, because they have sprawled together into a single contiguous mass). Cities that are important in their own right but are part of a larger urbanized area are listed under "Important suburbs."
For a complete list of California cities, please see List of cities in California and List of cities in California (by population).
