Another great quiz. Why the omission of Danville, Bardstown, and Washington (today a neighborhood of Maysville) from 1790? The latter two were larger than Louisville.

Thanks for the oversight. The 1790 Census is quite rigorous for several states, but that sadly vanishes for the 1800 Census, and even the records vanish through 1840.

I have lived in KY now for 19 years but never studied its history so was pretty pleased only to have missed 4. Both Beardstowns, one of the Washingtons (which filled in when I typed Maysville), and (duh) Harrodsburg. Any possibility that Bardstown and Beardstown are the same place?

@rickgr: Turns out they are; Beardstown is the spelling those early Censuses use but I'll have the modern spelling appear. As well, I have the other Washington fixed now. Thanks for the corrections.
