No city in the United States is a state in and of itself.

If the question was intended to ask "What is the only city in the United States that is not IN a state?" Many would answer Washington, D.C. It is located in a federal district and not inside a state.

Unfortunately the question is misleading. There are many cities in the United States that are not inside a state. The United States has 5 populated unincorporated territories. The largest city in one of these territories is San Juan, Puerto Rico.

San Juan has a population of nearly 400,000 American Citizens in the city proper and 2.5 million American Citizens in the metro area. Puerto Rico is an unincorporated Commonwealth Territory of the United States of America, not a state.

There are also cities in each of the other 4 the US territories of The Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and Northern Mariana Islands.

Now if the question is "What is the only city in the Incorporated United States that is not in a state" then the correct answer is Washington, D.C. since the District of Columbia is an incorporated district.
