    A few brain lapses in the video:
    1- Pennsylvania has 12.9 MILLION people
    2- The population density of Wyoming is 6 people per square mile, not 6,000!
    3- The aerial image I showed for Mesa, AZ is actually Tempe, AZ (adjacent suburb)
    4- Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, AK at 147,000 square miles is roughly the same size as Montana, but not Bangladesh. Bangladesh is 147,000 square km.
    5. The image showed for Falls Church, VA is of Charlottesville.
    I love how there are so many errors in a video about facts that I have to pin a comment with corrections

      I had read that Bangladesh is the size of Wisconsin, so I figured that needed correcting. Mesa, Az. is now the size Phoenix was in the 1970 census. All of Maricopa County had 800,000 in the ‘70 census. Now, what, about 5 million? Of course snow birds make up a fair amount of that.

    Small nitpick. The Salton Sea wasn't created because they were trying to pump water to LA. The irrigation system was solely to send water to the Imperial Valley. Because of the abnormally high rainfall in the upper Colorado River, the river breached levees near the border of AZ and CA and flowed unobstructed into the Salton Sink, creating the Salton Sea. Glad you mentioned this area though! It's often forgotten. I'd love to see a video on it. Keep up the great work :)

    I can tell you exactly what the problem is with Loving County, Texas. That county only supports enough of a permanent population to support the oilfield workers. Mentone only has a fuel station, some water facilities, and a couple restaurants that I’m pretty sure are just permanently parked food trucks and not actual buildings. It’s in a high desert. That route, Texas 302, is taken primarily by people traveling between Orla (another oil town in Reeves County with several “man camps” around it), Kermit (a town of about 10,000 in Winkler County that serves as a jump off point for oil workers) and the Midland/Odessa metro area.
    The biggest reason for Loving County to lose a third of its population seemingly overnight is because oil production has gone down in the area and those “permanent” residents went to another town. They’ll all be back in a couple years when a few new wells get drilled.

    You killed it, Your Majesty! I am a total trivia nerd (I even know where the word "trivia" was derived!) I love these kind of vids. As someone who has lived most of his life in the city, county, and state of New York (I think New York may be the only city that shares its name with the County and the State in which it is located...), Loving County, Texas has long been a source of fascination to me. I was shocked to learn of its population decline. Hell, more people live on the floor of my building than live in Loving Cty! I, along with the 69,000 people who share the sq. mile I live in here, just cannot imagine what it would be like to have that much space to ourselves!

    The tallest mountain in the lower 48 from base to peak is Rainier. All those "towering" 14ers in Colorado begin at 6,000 ft making them all much less impressive than the volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest (and Shasta). Not to mention what they call forests we call scrub brush. Compared to Rainier (13,246 ft from base to summit). Elbert and Pike's Peak are foothills.

    Bombay Beach is unincorporated. The lowest incorporated municipality in the US is nearby Calipatria, negative 180 feet. It's flagpole is 184 feet tall so that the flag flies above sea level. The other incorporated municipalities in Imperial County are also below sea level (El Centro, Brawley, etc)
    The eastern Salton Sea is also home to the Salton Buttes, the only active volcano in southern California. Red Island is a hundred foot tall hill whose summit elevation is -127 feet.

    Fun facts:
    Originally located within a Spanish Province, the city of Santa Fe, NM was founded by the 2nd governor of the province, Don Pedro de Peralta, in 1607. He named it _La Villa Real de la Santa Fé de San Francisco de Asís_ which means "the Royal Town of the Holy Faith of Saint Francis of Assisi". In 1610, he designated the city as the capital of the province making it the oldest state capital in the United States. The city was later nicknamed _Santa Fe_ which means "Holy Faith".

    I think people really underestimate how big NYC is because of the hudson river divide with Jersey.
    Yes NJ is a seperate state all that, but certainly most of North Jersey along the Hudson feels very much just another part of NYC in density and culture. But in Jersey we are absolutely nuts with how we call municipalities or cities (look at South Hackensack, or North Bergen being south of Bergen County).
    So by comparison, Jersey City is about the same population as Pittsburgh, its in Hudson County which has a population the size of Seattle just on the hill next to NYC. And if you copied NYC's model of just combining the counties around the central hub into one city, you'd be looking at a city the size of Chicago.
    So how ever big NYC is, its hard to fathom that a city the size of Chicago rests next door on its western border as well.

    San Juan, PR is the oldest city in the US and predates St Augustine by several decades

      PR is not “in” the US. It’s a held territory.

    Hey boss man. As a couple people have said, at 9:44 when you mention Falls Church, that's actually the downtown mall of Charlottesville.

    So Leadville, CO has always claimed to be the highest incorporated city in the US but Alma is the highest incorporated town? Is this just them playing games or is there some actual difference in these two terms?

    I’ll be prepared to hear the rainiest city in the contiguous US: my hometown of Mobile, AL. Many people would think a PNW city would get the most annual rainfall, and while they do have more days that it rains, Mobile gets more inches of rain per year than other city in the contiguous US

    • @tsurdyk

      Houston and NYC also get more rain than Seattle. We just have more cloudy days, and more days with measurable rain. They get theirs in big storms.

    Alma's sign appears to have an image of Mt. Shuksan in Washington. (8.44)

      @GeographyKing  Месяц назад +2

      I was just stating the "official" height (usually at the courthouse or city hall). They might have listed the highest elevation in the city on the sign.

    There is a marker on the steps of the state capitol building in Denver showing the exact elevation of 5280 feet.

    St. Augustine Florida being settled 73 years after the Americas were discovered for Europe reminds me of reading 'The Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus', by Washington Irving. Most Astounding.

      Top of the building is certainly higher than any other capitol building, by 1000ft.

    My favorite local CA stat is the lowest and highest points in the lower 48 States are actually so close together they are visible from one another ( Mt Whitney and Death Valley.) in the same county maybe?
