The states set the definition of the various sub-divisions within them. Cities usually have to encompass a certain geographic area and consist of a minimum of a certain number of citizens in order to be considered 'cities.' The term 'municipality,' on the other hand, is a generic term and can refer to any incorporated sub-division (other than a a county/parish) regardless of its size or population.
