	Fun quiz! By the way, Maryland has a town named California.

	Hmm, that's true. The Census Bureau appears not to classify it as an "incorporated place," though (see the source link), since it's only a CDP. For consistency, I'll probably leave it out. (Otherwise I would probably need to consider all CDPs in the country. The source lists only two CDPs: Arlington, Virginia and Honolulu, Hawaii.)

	I thought for sure that Washington was bigger than Indiana in Pennsylvania. That was true back in 2000, but it appears Washington has lost more population than Indiana since then so it was no longer the case in 2009. They were pretty close though even in 2009.
