ADDED: the original difference, at least in Britain, was that a city has a cathedral, the centre of an Anglican or Catholic bishopric, or administrative region. Thus Wells, in the SW English county of Somerset, proclaims itself "England's [Britain's?] smallest city", there being a good many towns that are larger but lack a magnificent cathedral.

A county provides an extension of the state's services at a more local geographical location.
