All courts shall take judicial notice of the existence of all cities and villages incorporated under this Code, of the changes made in their territory, and of the change of incorporation of any municipality from its former incorporation to its incorporation under this Code. From the time of incorporation, or change of incorporation under this Code, this Code shall apply to such cities and villages.
