everyone knows that louisville is the largest city in kentucky

700,000+

Link.

As of the 2000 Census, Louisville had a population of 256,231. This was just under Lexington's merged consolidated city-county population of 260,512. However, in 2003, Louisville and Jefferson County also merged into a consolidated city-county government named Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government (official long form) and Louisville Metro (official short form), resulting in a city populated with 556,332 residents as of 2004 which excludes the populations of all other Jefferson County cities with the exception of the former City of Louisville. This latest Census estimate places Louisville Metro as the 26th largest city in the United States.

For consolidated city-counties like Louisville, the Census does not include the populations of other incorporated places in the county. If these other incorporated places were included, Louisville would have the same population as Jefferson County (700,030), which would make it the 16th largest city in the country. While this ranking has been claimed by the Louisville Metro government, widely reported in the local media, and has even been posted on road signs at the city limits, it is not supported by Census methodology.

The Louisville metropolitan area (not to be confused with Louisville Metro), having a population of approximately 1.3 million, ranks 43rd nationally and is the largest in Kentucky. The metro area also includes some southern Indiana counties (see Geography and climate below).

Yes. I think city populations are misleading and Metro populations tell more of the story

Exactly. Anchorage, with a population of 260,283 (2000) covers 1,961 square miles. Grand Rapids, with a population of 197,800 (2000) covers just 45 square miles.

The Anchorage MSA has a population of just 344,965 (2004) and covers 27,221 square miles. The Grand Rapids MSA has a population of 767,539 (2004) and covers just 2,827 square miles. (The Grand Rapids CSA has a population of 1,306,768 (2004) and covers 4,729 square miles.)

Yes, and I dont think that is all of them....there were something like 90 cities in the county before merger. Louisville has a very small county that is only 385 square miles and they "merged" with the entire county. Each small city still has its own mayor and pretty much stands alone but now they are part of Metro Louisville.

Also many of the small cities listed only have 300 people. Others, like Shively, Pleasure Ridge Park, Jeffersontown, and St Matthews (just to name a few), are quite large cities that have large tax bases and between 20k or 50k people. Many of these larger cities still retain their own police forces, city halls, etc, but the Louisville Metro is ultimately responsible for taking care of them. Many of the small cities pay extra taxes to keep their own fire and police, etc.

Yes. I think city populations are misleading and Metro populations tell more of the story

Actually, the urban areas and urban clusters tell the best story, since they're uniformly defined, and have nothing to due with administrative areas such as counties, which are drasticly diverse in size.

The Las Vegas urban area, for example, is a small, densely packed area, while the Las Vegas metro covers almost as much land as the state of Kentucky
