Largest h-y-p-h-e-n-a-t-e-d city/town by state or province

Continuing with the recent theme of hyphenated cities and towns, the following list identified the largest hyphenated city or town in each state, Canadian province, or territory. As with previous posts on this subject, the population data pertains to the core city/town/CDP, not the metropolitan area (if there is one). Populations range from 162 people in both Two Mile and Two and One-Half Mile Village, Yukon and in Ma-Me-O Beach, Alberta to 253,531 residents in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

As can be seen, 18 of those listed are Census Designated Places (CDPs). This is important to note because over time CDPs can be added or dropped by the Census Bureau. In fact, it is unclear where Emory-Meadowview, Virginia remains a CDP or not. In addition, another 15 states, provinces, and territories have no hyphenated communities that could be found by a search of the internet.
