Awesome quiz, however I don't think Citrus Heights should be counted on here because it wasn't incorporated until 1997 and I couldn't find any reliable source for the 107,000 number (citypopulation.de which is what I typically use says it was 81,000 in 1990).

I have removed Citrus Heights since it reached its peak before it was officially incorporated as a city. I also added Washington DC, as I had forgotten about that one.
