- Source: List of cities and towns in Greenland before 2008
This is a list of cities, towns and settlements in Greenland.
The English term 'city' hardly applies to any populated area in Greenland (although several places in Greenland are considered "cities"), as the most populated place is Nuuk with 14,501 inhabitants. In Greenland they distinguish two kinds of settled areas: by (Danish for 'town') and bygd (Danish for 'settlement'). The seat of each municipality is a by, whereas every other settlement in a municipality is a bygd. A bygd can have anything from one to about five hundred inhabitants. Many places have Danish names in addition to the Greenlandic names. The Danish name, when applicable, is shown in parentheses.
The first list shows a ranked list of all towns with more than 1000 population. The second list
is ordered by region and municipality and includes all with more than 50 population plus some of the even smaller settlements.
