Maybe Rochester because of IBM and the Mayo Clinic, but thats about all people know of the city (other than the fact that it copied Rochester, NY's name )
I've also heard of Duluth and St. Cloud but couldn't tell you a thing of them.
Maybe you should take a geography or history class then, St. Cloud is a regional anchor, and Duluth once had the most millionaires per capita in the entire nation, serving as one of the biggest shipping hubs in North America.

Yeah, I guess this thread should be moved to the ancient history forum then.
Duluth had the most millionaires and was a shipping hub in the early 1900's. St.Cloud may be a regional anchor but you need to to take into account the region it is anchoring.
This thread was not, "Tell us about cities in your state" it asked for states with 3 major cities that are nationally known. Do you think that St.Cloud is nationally known? If you walk in to a diner in New Mexico and ask everyone there where Duluth is how many do you think will know?
Don't start spouting off about taking history and geography lessons because they do not know much about an area you are familiar with when you couldn't even comprehend the original post.
Half the cities you listed have populations of 10-40K and you would be lucky if they were all well know within their respective states let alone nationally.

Well, the thread's question was answered by the first post - California, Texas and Florida in that order. 1, 2 and 3 for States with the best lineup of cities. So, unless you like beating dead horses, keep the discussion interesting. A city doesn't have to have 500,000 people to be significant either. And honestly, if somebody in the USA doesn't know at least where Duluth is, then they probably should take a geography lesson.
I think everybody should know every state and their capitals, and be able to list about 5 cities in every state. If you can't, then you're probably not too intelligent of a person.
I don't know what 10-40k cities you are talking about, but the lineup of cities in my state are 390,000 , 285,000, 110,000, 85,000 and 70,000

There are 1000's of threads on CD, many with different subjects. If a thread is limited in it's scope it will die out. What some were doing was throwing their state out there even though it did not meet the criteria of what the OP was looking for just because they could not stand to see their state excluded from a thread I guess.
I never said a city needed to have 500,000 people to be significant but chances are a city with a population of 25,000 is not going to be known nationally over a city with 500,000.
And I really love these arbitrary points of knowledge people are throwing out to determine if people are intelligent. So I am not intelligent if I don't know all the state capitals or 5 cities in every state? There are some people that can recite the encyclopedia from memory but couldn't tell you what 2+2 equals, are they intelligent?
I guess I will just have to take being successful in life over knowing all the state capitals. I can't remember one time someone came up to me and said they were going to place an order with me if I could tell them the capital of Minnesota.

I can't name 5 cities in Wyoming, but I'd bet money my IQ is higher than yours. If you want to gauge intelligence you are choosing a very inaccurate barometer. Most 3rd graders are more adept at naming the states and capitals, since that's when everyone is taught that. Should they now be the ones we all look to for knowledge?
I highly doubt very many biochemical engineers and rocket scientists could name 5 cities from EVERY state off the top of their heads. I guess you're just smarter than most of them.
I'd say Colorado might have the most diverse lineup of cities. Boulder is a liberal college town, and Colorado Springs is a conservative military town. Fort Collins is a combination of the two. Pueblo is an industrial town, and Greeley is a "cow town." Aurora is a suburb on steroids. Denver is the state capital, largest city, and all the smaller cities rolled up into one.

This is a good response. These are all known nationally and are very different, something the OP asked for.

You understand that this is CITY DATA right?
A website designed for comparing and discussing the facts of cities and states?
So, yea bro, if I'm going to go onto a Rocket Science Forum on a website dedicated to Rocket Science, I should understand that I shouldprobably know a little about the science of rockets.
