It's only 187 miles long, but it goes through a major metro.
If that is a criterion of "importance", then you need to also consider the 16-mile Calumet River, which flows north through Chicago, a much more important major metro than Portland.
The population of Long Island, NY, exceeds the population of the cities of Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco combined.
Long Island is 1401 SQ Miles with a population over 7 Million but you can barely fit Dallas, Houston and San Antonio onto long island (1398 SQ Miles) and its population would be 4,670,369

That is a density that boggles my miind. I wonder how many people realize that you are including a big chunk of NYC (Brooklyn and Queens) when you mention statistics for the whole of Long Island.
Wow, compared to of 19,378,102, that's over 39% of the population of the entire state! Impressive, considering that upstate L.I. is sometimes cut off of outline state maps, like the U.P. often is for MI.
Rhode Island has a higher population than Alaska-- but RI would fit inside AK 546 times!
In fact, RI would fit inside Juneau, Alaska almost three times. And RI has 33 times the population of Juneau.

You are right. I was thinking of metros.
