Population of the Principal Cities of Ohio, 1810-1900.

All of the above named cities received marked accessions to their population during the last ten years, preceding the census of 1900, those having increased by the largest percentage being Toledo, 61.9 percent; Akron, 54.8 percent; Cleveland, 46.1 percent; and Columbus, 42.4 percent. Largest numerical gains during the decade are found in Cleveland, Toledo and Columbus. With a single exception in one decade each of these cities has increased in population steadily, but the rate of growth has been irregular and has shown no uniform trend of change. For Cincinnati, Cleveland and Springfield, however, that rate since 1870 has steadily declined, a change in harmony with the usual tendency of large urban centers.
