City Registry is a free research tool for U.S. local government. Use the official lookup to find a mayor, clerk, council member or other officeholder by name, or search the city directory to open a profile for any city in the states currently covered. City profiles collect population, county, region, council meeting schedule, contact details and the officials who hold each position.

Coverage is added one state at a time, built from whichever body authoritatively publishes that state’s municipalities: a state municipal league, a secretary of state, a state archive, or a university institute. Where a state publishes no roster of officeholders, the directory lists the Census places alone. Population figures come from Census place estimates throughout. The source determines which details are published, so a city page may show a full council roster, a partial one, or no officials at all.
