Queen City is a term often used to describe the largest city in a country, state, province, or territory, but not the capital. For example, the city of Burlington, Vermont, is larger than the state capital of Montpelier in Vermont. Some towns that fit this description are rarely referred to as "queen cities", while others have become commonplace to talk about them with this title. This term may refer to:
