I thought it's interesting how some are growing and some dying.
The top ten most populous cities in 1790 were as follows:
  • New York, New York (33,131)
  • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (28,522)
  • Boston, Massachusetts (18,320)
  • Charleston, South Carolina (16,359)
  • Baltimore, Maryland (13,503)
  • Northern Liberties Township, Pennsylvania (9,913)
  • Salem, Massachusetts (7,921)
  • Newport, Rhode Island (6,716)
  • Providence, Rhode Island (6,380)
  • Marblehead, Rhode Island (5,661)
The top ten most populous cities in 2010 were as follows:
  • New York, New York (8,175,133)
  • Los Angeles, California (3,792,621)
  • Chicago, Illinois (2,695,598)
  • Houston, Texas (2,099,451)
  • Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1,526,006)
  • Phoenix, Arizona (1,445,632)
  • San Antonio, Texas (1,327,407)
  • San Diego, California (1,307,402)
  • Dallas, Texas (1,197,816)
  • San Jose, California (945,942)
Interesting. I didn't realize San Antonio was in top 10.
