Other types of municipality in the province include an Indian government district, an island municipality, two mountain resort municipalities, a regional municipality and a resort municipality.
Cities
Main article: List of cities in British ColumbiaUnder current legislation, a community may incorporate as a city if its population is greater than 5,000 and the outcome of a vote involving affected residents was that greater than 50% voted in favour of the proposed incorporation. British Columbia has 49 cities. Greenwood incorporated as a city in 1897 prior to the current legislation and retains this status despite its population of 708 being less than the current 5,000 threshold.
