Yeah, me too...Didn't realize it was the second largest city in Louisiana at that time. It's always suprising how rural the South was back then... You'd think Baton Rouge would have been sizable by that period, but outside of New Orleans which was huge, Charleston, Savannah, and a few places in Virginia, there weren't many sizable towns let alone cities in 1850 in the region.
I got 32/50---I missed most of the towns that were annexed by the large Northeastern cities.
That was fun! I got 26/50. I didn't realize Baltimore was ever bigger than Philly.
Well early on Philly excluded Northern Liberties, Southwark, Spring Garden, and U City not to mention many other neighborhoods which are all within a a mile of city hall
Actually 5 of the largest 20 in 1850 are now part of the core of Philadelphia
I got 33/50. Those Philadelphia areas and Boston areas got me. I assume they got everybody else. The only one I knew was Northern Liberties. I knew a Southwark but couldn't place the name.
