Other than West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, which are independent incorporated cities, the places named above are all districts and neighborhoods

Approximately 24 miles (39 km) in length, the famous boulevard passes through or near Echo Park, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood, and Pacific Palisades. Other than West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, which are independent incorporated cities, the places named above are all districts and neighborhoods in the City of Los Angeles. -- Sunset Boulevard, Wikipedia

I was reading a article on 'Sunset Boulevard' from where I took the above excerpt. Would you please tell me what are these 'incorpoated cities' and how they differ from 'normal' cities?

According to the article Echo Park, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Hollywood, Holmby Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood, and Pacific Palisades are all districts and neighbourhoods in the City of Los Angeles. Is a city in the US or some of the states divided into distrcists (I think they are, and there are different kinds of districts and one of them is school district?)? What are these 'neighbourhoods'?

It would be extremely kind of you if you could help me with the above queries. Thanks a lot.

In the US, a city is legally formed by being "incorporated" - the establishment document is called the "articles of incorporation" or the "city charter." This document sets out the governance structure, the city boundaries, tax collection authority, city services (water, garbage collection, libraries, etc.) The incorporation must be approved by a higher authority (e.g. the state legislature).

They don't.
A handful of cities, with their own police forces and city governments, are completely surrounded by the city of Los Angeles. (Eg, West Hollywood and San Fernando)

Here's a crazy map of the City of L.A.
