more than 100. 900. The city. which has
since grown TO be probably the largest
in the world. did not pass the one mill
ion mark until 1850. when the govern
ment census gave it a population OF
i.205.500.
In 1900. with the annexation OF
Brooklyn and the incorporation OF the
greater city into five boroughs the
three million mark was passed, the
