Typically we don't use articles with city names. I know at least one exception though which is The Hague. I don't believe the "The" in "The Hague" is an article as such. It is part of the name itself. There's also The Hyde and The West End in London. But I think the answers dealing with countries/states cover this question too, so it's a dup. Let's not forget The Gambia, in Africa, In addition to The Hague and The Bronx, there are a few other minor English place names that still include a definite article, including The Plains, Virginia, and The Dalles, Oregon. In the instance of The Hague/Den Haag, which is the colloquial term for 's-Gravenhage (truncated from des Gravenhage), the descriptor translates to something like the Royal court. Other places dropped the article long ago after the descriptor no longer had the same conveyance. (For example, the city of Bath in England was known as Baðum - at the baths.)

The etymology of The Hague (Den Haag in Dutch, La Haye in French, La Haya in Spanish) is that it used to be a Royal Enclosure (Hague => Edge) - possibly a stockade. The "the" is therefore a valid article. Also consider the followings: Los Angeles, Las Vegas, La Paz, Le Havre (France), La Mancha (Spain), La Havana, El Salvador, La Rochelle (France)

As a conclusion, one can probably hypothesise that having a city name starting with an article is unnatural to English and that whenever it does happen it is only as the result of the literal translation of an original article included in the place name in its home language.
