About the National Leagues of Cities

The National League of Cities was established in 1924 by and for reform minded state municipal leagues. It now represents 49 leagues and more that 1,400 cities directly, and through the membership of the state municipal leagues, some 17,000 cities indirectly.

The NLC serves as an advocate for its members in Washington in the legislative, administrative, and judicial processes that affect them; develops and pursues a national municipal policy that meets the present and future needs of our nation’s cities and the people who live in them; offers training, technical assistance, and information to municipal officials to help them improve the quality of local government in our urban nation; and undertakes research and analysis on topics and issues of importance to the nation’s cities and towns.

The Delaware League of Local Governments is a proud member of the NLC along with some of Delaware’s town and cities.
