New York and Philadelphia had the longest running spots. Impressive for both. Obviously other cities are moving on, but still interesting.
See post #19. I don’t feel like writing it all out twice.

“Held it’s own” isn’t how I’d describe it. It’s one of the most influential US cities, but it’s at #15 (just below Columbus, OH) in terms of city proper population.
What differentiates SF and Boston, though, is that there are mountain ranges and *large* bodies of water that impair annexation in the former city. MA cities don’t consolidate simply because they don’t want to.
*btw, I did vote on the poll in your annexation thread.

Wow, I hadn't looked at a biggest U.S. Cities by population size list for a long time - sans this video! I was only paying attention to a few cities (Boston, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Baltimore and New Orleans for reasons I'm not sure why lol) I hadn't realized San Francisco wasn't in the top 10 anymore. Where the h-e-double hockey sticks have I been?! Lol. Thank you for the information.
You're right - San Francisco, Boston, Washington DC and Miami, to name a few will continue to be eclipsed in population regardless of their growth due to annexation/land and/or height restrictions... Interesting...

St. Louis was a beast before the 1900s. LA was the monster that erupted in the 1900s.
Yeah, its interesting looking back at all the population explosions, how each metro had its time under the sun and when you look at today's booming metro's (primarily the southern sunbelt cities) we tend to forget that every established metro in this country has undergone similar population explosions.. It makes you wonder if the sunbelt will stop booming and if so, what will be the catalyst. I will say the NE, primarily NYC seems to have been far more consistent in growth rather than a sudden boom.
Not quite the same-annexation of existing urban areas from outside counties vs. annexation of unincorporated county land with the principal city of the county.
Not really.
Annexation, consolidation...we are splitting hairs here.
Especially since all of it happened prior to World War II and World War I and, in NYC's case, prior to 1900.
This is where we'll be in 2035....After yr2020 estimates are used to predict the growth. https://youtu.be/UFpP1jB1EVA
