For each river, cities are listed top to bottom from source to mouth. Populations figures are for cities (not metro areas), so for some rivers all of the cities are in one metro area.

	I included every river I found that had at least two cities with over 100,000 population situated on it. I put a lot of research into this, but there were times when it was quite difficult to ascertain if certain city limits (Akron's, to name one example) actually touched the river in question. If you find something you think is in error, please bring it to my attention. Thanks for playing.

	I like this quiz, but I've lived within walking distance of the L.A. River most of my life so I have to make some corrections there. First of all, East Los Angeles isn't a city, it's an unincorporated CDP. Second, the LA River doesn't pass through it, anyway. Third, while the LA River passes by downtown L.A. after Burbank and Glendale, it's within the L.A. city limits for more than 15 miles from its source to the Burbank city limits.

	Also, I wouldn't use a secondary source like the World Gazetteer when the U.S. Census info is readily available. The 2010 Census data hasn't been fully released yet, but it would be better to use their latest estimates instead of the WG's "calculations," which are way off in at least one case: New Orleans. The 2010 Census data is available for Louisiana, and N.O. has a population of 343,829, which is 70% higher than their "calculation." http://2010.census.gov/news/releases/operations/cb11-cn13.html

	Good job. Definitely a tedious task. But, Huntsville, AL's city limits actually do touch the Tennessee River.

	adamnvillani:	Feb 10th, 2011 at 12:54 GMT	2 points
	Also -- Metairie, Louisiana is unincorporated.

	Great quiz.

	Very interesting quiz. Sorry to say I was totally unfamiliar with some of these rivers.

	East LA is not a city so I would take it off. Please accept "Ft. Worth" or "Ft Worth" for Fort Worth.

	iglew:	Feb 29th, 2012 at 06:51 GMT	1 point
	it would be a funny trick to say "Colorado" and have the answers be Yuma, AZ, and Austin, TX.
