		Historically, City status was associated with the presence of a [[cathedral, such as York Minster.]] City status in the United Kingdom is granted by the British monarch to a select group of communities.
		Note that the Cathedral column lists the diocesan cathedrals that were the grounds for the granting of City status, that is, cathedrals of the established Church of England, and the formerly established Church in Wales or Church of Ireland, in cities recognised prior to 1888.
		This contrasts with the situation in the United States, Where the primary meaning of the word "city" is any area contained within city limits, completely disregarding whether or not that area is recognisable as a traditional "city".
