You might try looking at census data. It's public info, so free, and
should have extensive lists of city info somewhere (you may have to cobble
together a complete list from various regional sub-lists, but then again
maybe not...).

Another possible source: public GIS (geographic information system)
databanks. See
<http://directory.google.com/Top/Science/Social_Sciences/Geography/Geographi
c_Information_Systems/Data/>, for instance.

There are also plenty of people willing to sell you such info... ;-)
