Notes
The table has been compiled using the 2001 Census
publications Key
Statistics for urban areas in England and Wales Table KS01 ( released 17
June 2004), Key
Statistics for Settlements and Localities Scotland Table KS01 (released 25
March 2003) and Northern
Ireland Census 2001 Key Statistics for Settlements Table KS01 (released 10
February 2005). The names and populations of all urban areas and urban sub-divisions recognised as towns
with city status were
extracted and included in the list. The year the city status was
awarded is the taken from the date recorded on the official letters patent and
may differ from the year city status was actually announced.
