In 1890, what fast-growing city became the third city to reach #2?
Answer after the jump.
CHICAGO
Chicago would remain the "second city" in every census from 1890 until 1990.
Chicago's peak population (3.6 million) was registered during the 1950 census. Los Angeles would not surpass that number until the 2000 census. (New York had surpassed it in 1910.)
