Jake's is lower. I'm confident my city is WAY bigger than your's though.

How about whose city makes up the highest percentage of their county? I should win that hands down, since mine is almost 58% of my county.

Cumberland County, Pennsylvania:
2000 Population: 213,674
2004 Population: 221,397

That's a 3.6% increase. There was a story in the newspaper that as of 2004, our county has been designated as "urban" status (as opposed to rural) which means we get more federal funding for county projects! The benchmark for urban status is a county population of at least 200,000 excluding any towns that already receive a certain amount of federal funding. Our county seat, Carlisle, apparently does and its population is around 20,000. So basically we had to wait until our county reached 220,000 to receive "urban" status.

I live in the most populated township in the county, Hampden, which has about 25,000 people but is growing rapidly (hooray for McMansions!).

2004: 902,000

A18- I've heard of Loudoun county before, you're the fastest growing county in the entire country last year! I wanted to go to Leesburg when I was in Alexandria a few years ago but I was told it too far away and the traffic would be terrible. Whats Loudoun county like? Is it like Levittown in the 50's?

Nope, anyone from Philly, New York, SF, Baltimore, Carson City, Anaconda MT, etc beats you hands down. 100%. So do I, incidentally. Closest thing to a county would be the Kreisfreie Stadt Frankfurt (ca.640K inhabitants)

Wow, Lewistown.  My grandparents live there.  Same house for 60 years.

Most of you are city slickers I can see. 

Lewis County:  Biggest county in Western Washington (in land)

About 69,000 of the best people on the face of the earth.

Of course the majority of the residents in my county live in Tampa. We are pretty rural around here on the far eastern side of the county.

This area hasn't been a county in 30 years - but the equivelant - the whole city Ottawa, which is even bigger in area than the original Carleton County has about 800,000 people. Canada's capital has more people than DC Smiley

That's because the people living in certain areas of your capital city haven't been spending the last 30 years killing each other off for no good reason like people living in certain areas of our capital city have, while everyone else gets the hell out.

This problem also affects its neighbor city to the north.
