List of Cities in California

This is a plain text List of US Cities in California without the state name and listed by largest population (from largest to smallest). In the subsequent section, we will include the corresponding population numbers  of each California city in tabular form. For ease of use for our users, the list is nice and clean which makes it particularly nice for pasting into an excel, or whichever program you wish to use.

Feel free to use either of the two lists for personal or commercial purposes. You do not need to ask us (but feel free to cite us)!
