I see the use of "City of" as indicating the official name of a municipality as it is defined in legislation. Here in New Brunswick the Municipalities Act defines the official names of municipalities. Some opt to use "City of ", "Town of ", etc in the Municipalities Act and some don't. But when it comes to names on maps we should be more concerned with toponyms and not official names. The use of "City of ", "Town of ", etc is very rare in toponyms. Here is a query on the Canadian Geographic Names Database searching for the term "of" in the "populated places" category - http://www4.rncan.gc.ca/search-place-names/search?q=of&theme%5B%5D=985&category=O
I only see two examples that include "City of ", "Town of ", etc across the entire country: City of Brant, ON Village of Queen Charlotte, BC Bernie.
