Most Populous Pennsylvania Municipalities in 1890

Name the twenty most populous municipalities in Pennsylvania in 1890.
City proper populations; townships are NOT 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.
