List Of Ky Cities
Kentucky, a state in the United States, has 418 active cities. Kentucky cities are divided into two classes, which define their form of local government: first class and home rule. First class cities are permitted to operate only under the mayor-council, while home rule cities may operate under the mayor-council, city commission, and city manager forms. Currently, Louisville is Kentucky's only designated "first class" city. However, by virtue of also having merged city-county governments, both Louisville and Lexington are treated as special cases under state law, and were permitted to retain their existing local forms of government and powers. Classes The two-class system went into effect on January 1, 2015, following the 2014 passage of House Bill 331 by the Kentucky General Assembly and the bill's signing into law by Governor Steve Beshear. The new system replaced one in which cities were divided into six classes based on their population at the time of their classifi ...
