Most Populous New Jersey Municipalities by Decade

Name the ten most populous municipalities in New Jersey for every census since 1810.
City proper populations; townships are included!
Due to incomplete data, only municipalities that still exist today (in some form) are included.
If a municipality has city status now but was a township at the time of the census, it is considered a township for this quiz.
