Why do web sites set up sub domains for individual cities?

Hi, I am going to create a site similar to craigslist.org/ ( using PHP and MYSQL on a Linux VPS) and was wounding if anyone can provide me with information on why sites like craigslist.org/ ( or the one listed below ) set up sub domains for each city. Can anyone also provide me with any suggestions on how best to set up the site structure with SEO and programming in mind.

I'm guessing they use city based sub-domains so load balancing can be done with DNS.

I really don't know though.
