United States

What is the largest city?

[dot.hawkes]

it is in Alaska, a City called Sitka

[Clanad]

Really, dot.hawkes? I would have thought Kotzebue, Juneau?

Semi-seriously, though, the top ranking U.S. cities are 1 through 5; New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia (from top down)...

[dot.hawkes]

maybe so but I was going by area not ranking

shame, Clanad! Sitka is 2,874 square miles and is indeed America's biggest, if not most populous.

I was actually looking for the most populated cities in the U.S. I am also looking for the least populated states.

yayyyyy jno, as much as I adore Clanad i was decidedly perturbed with the dismissing of my answer!!!! i don't just guess you know!!!!!!

DottyH, I never intended to cast aspersions on your selection... but, unfortunately, you missed my intended play on words... oh well, sometimes humor works and sometimes it doesn't (Source: Groucho Marx)

now, Clanad, you know Brits don't do stuff like irony and humour!

The least populated is Wyoming, which has even fewer people than Washington DC. List here:
