In 1850, how many of the ten most populous cities were located in states that were part of the original thirteen colonies?

Since 1790, the United States began keeping record of the statistical data on their cities, their citizens and different aspects of life. One of these statistics has to do with the most populous cities, in the different years in which the Census was carried out. As such, in 1850, one such Census was done, and a list of ten cities came out as the most populous in the U.S. From the list provided by the Bureau Census, 7 of these cities were from the original 13 British colonies, while 3 came later with the annexation of territories. These 7 original cities, according to research, were:

1. New York

2. Baltimore

3. Boston

4. Philadelphia

5. Brooklyn

6. Spring Garden

7. Albany

The other three: New Orleans, Cincinnati and St. Louis, also among the 10 most populous by this census, were cities that appeared later and belong to the territories that were later annexed.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
