A municipality in Manitoba is "a municipality that is continued or formed under" the Municipal Act, which was enacted in 1996.{{cite web | url=http://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/statutes/ccsm/_pdf.php?cap=m225 | title=The Municipal Act (enacted 1996) | publisher=Government of Manitoba | date=September 12, 2013 | access-date=September 16, 2013}} Municipalities that can be formed under this legislation include urban municipalities (cities, towns and villages) and rural municipalities.

Urban municipalities

File:Manitoba urban municipalities.png

Manitoba's Municipal Act, enacted in 1996, defines an urban municipality as an incorporated "area with at least 1,000 residents and a population density of at least 400 residents per square kilometre." An urban municipality, upon formation, may be named a "city", "town", "village" or "urban municipality", although there is a minimum 7,500 population requirement that limits the naming of cities.

Combined, Manitoba has 37 urban municipalities comprising 10 cities, 25 towns and 2 villages.{{cite web | url=http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/92f0009x/92f0009x2013000-eng.pdf | title=Interim List of Changes to Municipal Boundaries, Status, and Names: From January 2, 2012 to January 1, 2013 | publisher=Statistics Canada | pages=6–7 | access-date=September 13, 2013}} The 37 urban municipalities have a total population of 955,774, a total land area of {{convert|6264.53|km2|mi2|abbr=on}}. These totals represent {{percentage|955774|1342153|1}} of Manitoba's population but only {{percentage|6264.53|540310.19|1}} of its land area.

Of Manitoba's 37 urban municipalities, 6 have populations less than the current minimum population requirement of 1,000 and 20 have less than the current minimum density requirement of 400 residents per square kilometre. All of these were incorporated as urban municipalities prior to the Municipal Act being enacted in 1996.

{{Main|List of rural municipalities in Manitoba}}

Manitoba's Municipal Act, enacted in 1987, defines rural municipality (RM) as an incorporated "area with at least 1,000 residents and a population density of less than 400 residents per square kilometre." Manitoba has 98 rural municipalities{{cite web | url=http://web5.gov.mb.ca/mfas/pdf/10_stats.pdf | title=2010 Statistical Information for Municipalities in the Province of Manitoba | publisher=Manitoba Department of Local Government | access-date=September 12, 2013 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130929142020/http://web5.gov.mb.ca/mfas/pdf/10_stats.pdf | archive-date=September 29, 2013 | df=mdy-all }} that had a cumulative population of 313,064 in the 2021 census. These totals represent {{percentage|313064|1342153|1}} of Manitoba's population and {{percentage|101670.96|540310.19|1}} of its land area. The province's largest and smallest rural municipalities by population are the Hanover and the Ethelbert with populations of 17,216 and 648 respectively. The province's largest and smallest rural municipalities by area the RM of Reynolds and the Victoria Beach with land areas of {{convert|3559.65|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} and {{convert|20.71|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} respectively.

Of Manitoba's 98 rural municipalities, 8 have populations less than the current minimum population requirement of 1,000. All of these were either incorporated as rural municipalities prior to the Municipal Act being enacted in 1996 or formed by the amalgamation of two or more municipalities incorporated prior to 1996. Many municipalities previously under the minimum population were required to amalgamate by the Government of Manitoba's Municipal Amalgamations Act enacted in 2013. However, the legislation excluded "resort municipalities" like Victoria Beach{{cite web | url=http://news.gov.mb.ca/news/index.html?archive=&item=18831 | title=Government listens to presenters, amendments proposed to Municipal Modernization Act: Lemieux | publisher=Government of Manitoba | date=September 11, 2013 | access-date=October 5, 2014}} and the government allowed some of the new amalgamated municipalities to form with a combined population under 1,000.{{cite web | url=https://issuu.com/fbcpublishing/docs/140219200822-c5ac847c8c944fd29314e83674aa0577/28 | title=The music is just starting | publisher=The Manitoba Co-operator (via issuu) | date=20 February 2014 | access-date=25 July 2020}}

Local government districts

Manitoba's Local Government Districts Act, enacted in 1987, defines a local government district (LGD) as "an area or areas that is or are wholly or partly in unorganized territory or in a disorganized municipality" with inhabitants. LGDs are incorporated by Manitoba's Lieutenant Governor in Council through passage of a regulation.{{cite web | url=http://web2.gov.mb.ca/laws/statutes/ccsm/_pdf.php?cap=l190 | title=The Local Government Districts Act (enacted 1987) | publisher=Government of Manitoba | date=September 24, 2013 | access-date=September 26, 2013}}

Manitoba has two LGDs: Mystery Lake and Pinawa. For municipal statistical purposes, Mystery Lake is considered a rural municipality while Pinawa is considered an urban municipality.
