I can't find anything to back up the statement that a "real" city is 50,000 people or more. In the United States, city vs. town is up to the State. The US Census Bureau lists Arab as a city (http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/GCTTable?_bm=y&-context=gct&-ds_name=DEC_2000_SF1_U&-mt_name=DEC_2000_SF1_U_GCTPH1_ST2&-tree_id=4001&-redoLog=false&-_caller=geoselect&-geo_id=04000US01&-format=ST-7) so one can reasonably assume that it falls under the definition of a city in the state of Alabama. Claiming it's "just a town" seems to border on NPOV. The comments about it being "merely a vagarity of the Alabama constitution" is irrelevant to the article. The section on Government covers the description of why Arab is a city. As such I am removing the portion of the text that refers to this city as being "just a town".

City vs. Town is matter of politics. It has nothing to do with population. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 06:02, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why is it called "Arab"?[edit]

I think there needs to be a section explaining this. GoldenBootWizard276 (talk) 17:18, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
