Great quiz! Should Jacksonville tie with Key West?

It was close, but Key West most likely surpassed 10k before Jacksonville because in both the 1880 and 1890 censuses Key West has a larger population.

If you don't know your boomtowns, y'all gonna struggle with Nevada, South Dakota, and Alaska. As all these cities now have less than 4,000 people.

Cool quiz btw
