Why is Big Sandy listed as a town, yet East Mountain as a city, when Big Sandy has twice the population? Is it based on some legal designation, the official name, or what? Lawikitejana ( talk) 12:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC) reply

Classification of US municipalities on Wikipedia, both in Texas and in the other 49 states, is always based on legal designations. Nyttend ( talk) 20:59, 28 June 2010 (UTC) reply
