🏘️ Settlements of the World

These are the world's settlements — the communes, municipalities, districts and census-designated places that form the fabric of everyday geography. This library is very large, so it is browsed by continent, then by country, a page at a time. Each profile shows where the settlement is, which country administers it, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.

254655 settlements from 197 countries. This library is large, so it is browsed in two steps: pick a continent, then a country; each country page lists its settlements a screen at a time. Open any settlement for its full profile.
