Good quiz. Florida's historical population always surprises me.

Thanks! Florida really didn't have any large towns at the time. The only other two towns that reached over 2,000 inhabitants at the time were Key West and Jacksonville.

I've literally never heard of Edgefield, TN in my life. And I live in Nashville.

However, some really interesting surprises in this quiz. Liked it!

Thanks! Edgefield no longer exists as an independent town, but is still a historic district within the modern city of Nashville.
