Biggest Cities of the Midwestern United States in 1800 with a Map
In 1800, the Old Northwest was a vast and rapidly changing frontier, shaped by settlers, traders, and native nations, yet still a relatively undeveloped region. Can you name the largest settlements of the Old Northwest of the United States in that year?
So if you had a big family and you and you three brothers with their wifes and children settled somewhere in the middle of nowhere, you would have made it on the list :D
Ste. Genevieve - 950
St. Louis - 925
New Madrid - 800
Florissant - 300
Carondelet - 200
Cape Girardeau - 100
