Colorado. It's defined by Boulder and Pueblo and Aspen. The larger cities are transplant heavy and a mishmash of everything and don't really have a defining theme, at least one that can't be found in one of these 3 cities.
Boulder is the epicenter of the alternative engineer, Subaru driving Patagonia wearing DINK theme that's common along the front range.
Pueblo defines the food scene of Colorado: green chili on everything like hamburgers and breakfast burritos. Southern CO, of which Pueblo is the cultural epicenter, has a very different vibe than Northern CO with a blue collar, Hispanic, Catholic vibe. It's like New Mexico North kind of and has missed the economic and population boom that the rest of CO has had. It also unfairly gets a lot of trash talk and hate from Northern COers who imagine it all to be one big ghetto. It feels the most like what I imagine historical CO to be like.
Aspen is a stupid better than you rich person ski villa that's attracted world wide renown because celebrities based there and it has the X games. It's the most quintessential ski town of CO and the one people know the most about outside of the states. Don't bother visiting, it's way overpriced and too good for you to be there, but the towns around Aspen and the mountains in the area are some of the coolest in CO. They are a just far enough away from Denver so they don't have the same weekend warrior rush that other mountain towns do.
While not as important as Boston, Springfield, MA has an outsized impact on the world.
Basketball, Volleyball, Dr Suess, Smith and Wesson, Merriem Webster etc., it’s cultural impact is up there which cities multiple times it’s size like Minneapolis, Portland, OR or Phoenix

Wouldn't that be irrelevant to the point....big place overshadowed by small place? What difference does it make if the big place is carved into smaller chunks?

Take it up with the OP but I think it's obvious he's talking about municipal population.
