So I have taken a select few sentences from the introductory paragraphs of cities' Wikipedia pages, and you see if you can guess based on the given information (some give-away words will be redacted). No cheating please, just try to guess!

"The [redacted] Metropolitan Area contains about one-quarter of the entire population of [state name redacted]...[redacted] was founded in 1871, just after the American Civil War, through the merger of three pre-existing towns, and [redacted] grew from there, annexing many more of its smaller neighbors, into an industrial and railroad transportation powerhouse, especially in mining, the iron and steel industry, and railroading...From its founding through the end of the 1960s, [redacted] was the primary industrial center of the [region name redacted] United States.
