List of communities in Manitoba

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Communities in the Province of Manitoba, Canada include incorporated municipalities, unincorporated communities and First Nations communities.

Types of incorporated municipalities include urban municipalities, rural municipalities and local government districts. Urban municipalities can be named as cities, towns, villages or simply urban municipalities.[1]

The administration of urban and rural municipalities is regulated by The Municipal Act.[1] Some municipalities have since amalgamated, making this list inaccurate.

In the 2011 Census, Manitoba's communities combined for a total provincial population of 1,208,268.[2]
