Most Populous New York Municipalities in 1870

Name the twenty most populous municipalities in New York in 1870.

City proper populations; towns are NOT included, only cities and villages are!

Due to incomplete data, only municipalities that still exist today (in some form) are included.

If a municipality has city status now but was a village at the time of the census, it is considered a village for this quiz.
