Most Populous Pennsylvania Municipalities in 1840

Name the ten most populous municipalities in Pennsylvania in 1840.
City proper populations; townships are NOT 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 borough at the time of the census, it is considered a borough for this quiz.
