United States Population of the 50 States (1630 - 2021) 

The fact that NY was most populated for 150 years is incredible

Me as a Pennsylvanian thinking we would be most populated in 1813 just to see New York out of nowhere

Could Texas be the most populated in future?

@@chenyaolu5915 maybe

We need to depopulate by 7 billion people .

Very good point

They basically walked their way into civilization, steam engine, horseback riding, train, automotive and planes population grew so did transportation. It's not like their walking around in the stone age lol 🤣.

That's what happened back then because of no vaccines.

Your mind is practically boggled? How so?

Around 2.5M in 1776.

Yep it always makes me laugh when people say it’s a moderate climate yet hardly anyone lived here without AC.

I think it's with the invention of the electric golf kart. Not sure however.

New York has 36M people

No it does not

It's a bizarre 'map', they do something similar for WV. If they truly went with the premise that the 'state' entered the scene once populated by non-native people, you'd have a lot longer runtime as the 1500s would be added and it would only be New Mexico vs. Florida in probably the 3-digit number range, but you'd get North Carolina at the end of the 1500s for a few seconds and then it would drop off the map for about 100 years

Same with Tennessee appearing before USA's independence.

I believe they were doing it based off of modern-day states. Kentucky, Tennessee, and Vermont were noticeably added before the revolution as well.

Yeah, so how could they count population in Maine and WV when they were part of another state?

@@shreloddergan5857 Yeah well technically none of them should've been added till the 1770s if we're giong by statehood. But he wasn't

California: Hold my beer.

pennsylvania only grew as overflow from new york anways.

@@BakingBadOBX that doesn't sound right for the 1600s. But it does sound right for 2023

Meanwhile ohio: GAS GAS GAS

Ah - I was going to query the reasons for those rapid population deflations.

Bruh someone killed everyone in Maryland

Heck it had west Virginia on the list in 1837 it wasn't a state till after 1865

Why does WV show up in 1790, 73 years before it (illegally) became a State?

@@rms3 Why was WV’s entrance illegal? You’re giving off some awfully neo-confederate energy.

why is he so old?

​@@greenwave819likely primarily genetics

That's really awesome. And just think if there was that much innovation and change in 100 years, what the next 100 years will be like 😮

Air Conditioners

Yup. It started becoming popular after WW2.

According to this graph from 1999-2021, CA added roughly 6.17M people, TX added 9.37M . AZ added 2.6M

crazy fast growth, look at texas after the mexican american war and then california after ww2

USA was USA prior before European immigrants. Deport white people. Native Americans are true citizens of USA.

Bruh I’m cheering for ohio

okay I'm from the US and was wondering about this

So Indigenous Native Americans never existed? Why do people ignore the truth?

Well this is awkward as it was actually signed in August go ahead go google it. It was voted on and ratified on July 4th but not actually signed until August 2nd 1776. This has been proven as many of the signers were not even there on July 4th and indeed some had not even been elected yet. It's ok though this isn't the only US oddity i.e Ohio is both the 17th and 48th state due to congress being unable to decide what you had to do to become a state. I.e in 1803 Thomas Jefferson signed an act of Congress that approved Ohio's borders and constitution and Congress did indeed accept Ohio's delegates then but in 1953 they discovered Congress never actually passed a formal resolution admitting Ohio to the union. Not that it was technically needed but still and amusing oversight. Ohio was then retroactively admitted to the Union dating back to 1803 after a formal application was delivered on horseback. So yes it's the 17th state but if you go by when everything was cleared up it would indeed be the 48th state as well lol.

Population is decreasing as of late, and Texas is continuing to explode

Wish it was annotated with those events, some are I guess, most of the annotations are just historical events.

yes, that is the purpose of this video

As a history nerd you should realize that in 1620 there was no United States AND the native populations of what is now the Great Plains states was far greater than what was then Virginia. So is it "United States Population by EUROPEANS". That does not make sense either because the descendants of Spanish Conquistadors occupied what is now the southwestern United States in great numbers through much of this time AND after 1783 those who were Europeans were all of a sudden now citizens of the US (so the criteria changed???) ALSO from 1620 to 1863 black slaves outnumbered whites by as many as 4 to 1 in some parts of the country. Was this accounted for in the totals????

Jesus Loves you Matthew 11:28 come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. As well as Romans 6:23 for the wages of sin is death but the gift of God (Jesus who died on the cross for our sins) is eternal life. As long as you put your faith and trust in Him.😊!!!!!

Not to mention that Maine was part of Massachusetts until 1820 and other anomalies.

Maine was on there before it became a state as well it used to be part of Massachusetts colony

They are just talking about the region that we now refer by that name. People moved there and lived there BEFORE it was officially named a state (duh?). The US was not elevating empty territories to statehood. My guess is 1791 was the earliest Census data that could be found in that area. Also if you came to YT for a deep and accurate history lesson you are perhaps not such an astute historian as even amateur historians know how to pick a reliable source.

as another Pennsylvanian, I too am proud.

I loved watching Pennsylvania make that run towards the top.

it was done by AI that ignored indigenous populations

Mine is math

I thought the same thing about seeing West Virginia so early

This is wrong. The whole video is.

no because we are going by todays borders

@@Tyler_Hutchinson does it say that anywhere?

​@Cod Bus it can be reasonably assumed.

Ohio benefits from Chicago the same way New Jersey benefits from New York and Philadelphia...

People are ditching the liberal hellscape formerly known as Chicago. Can't blame them, civil people with options don't want to be robbed and murdered then have the mayor let the criminal out in the name of racial soludarity.

@@Soulbotagem-BR I disagree. NJ really has nothing they have that is "theirs". NJ is a commuter state. Everyone works in Philly or NY for the most part. Most of their money as a state is also made by people who come for the summer from PA/NY. NJ is also a very divided state in terms of looks and Geographic's. South Jersey might as well be another state compared to the rest. Ohio and Illinois are way farther apart. No one is commuting between the two states. Chicago is the major city in the state. The rest of the state is open. Ohio really only has 3 major cities. A lot of small or medium sized cities. Ohio is still considered a mid west state but it's almost not. Illinois for sure is.

It's better to be overdeveloped than underdeveloped. 😏👌

@@stanleysmith7551 eeeeehhhh not necessarily, overdevelopment without proper infrastructure leads to major issues. Underdevelopment with proper infrastructure means you just have less local opportunities but living costs are significantly lower. This over time leads to development because of low land prices. Proper scaling is what you really want.

all new york is moving to Florida and all California moving to texas

Development was the biggest crime on earth. How many species have been driven extinct by development?

@@stanleysmith7551No it’s not, when you have over development you have cookie-cutter houses that won’t last ten years three feet apart from each other and in any newer neighborhood in Florida right now is like that I would rather be surrounded by about an acre of woods in a town that has nothing but a dollar general than in a neighborhood where your neighbor can see you taking a shit because your houses are that close

I remember summer in 1950s--Hot, sweaty and asap run to the pool.

@@lynnmeyers10 Really? Was AC just not widely available then, or just by the end of the decade/1960s?

@@Awakeningspirit20 you had to be able to afford it. It was available in 1960s, not necessarily affordable. You used electric table fans,Central air in businesses in mid 1960s. It varied. I grew up in a small town. We saw a/c later and even in military it varied. I lived in Philadelphia later, and we had window a/c in 1965. By the end of decade there may have been central air in big businesses and new homes, but older homes and small businesses a/c was not built in. You would have had to use. Window. a/c. Maybe some renovated and had central air, but most had window units. I don't remember many built in central air units.. I'm not sure about large retail businesses.

I remember in the mid 60's the first house on our street to have central air-conditioning. We just knew that they had to be rich!

marylands drop off in the late 1600's was craziest to me. I had to research that one.

Yeah for some reason the video adds West Virginia as it’s own state in the 1790’s.

Because so many Minnesotans moved there lol

Good evening folks, today we gather to discuss the history of furries in the United States. Now, it's important to note that the concept of anthropomorphic animals has been present in various cultures and traditions throughout history. But we're not here to talk about the Egyptians or the medieval ages. No, we're here to talk about the modern-day furry subculture. In the late 20th century, a group of individuals emerged who were fascinated with the idea of taking on animal identities. They were mostly from science-fiction and fantasy fandoms, and as the years went on, this subculture only grew in size and visibility. Throughout the 90s, furry conventions and online forums began popping up, dedicated to discussing and creating anthropomorphic art and literature. The early 2000s saw furry conventions like Anthrocon explode in popularity, attracting thousands of attendees and becoming a significant commercial market. Now, it's true that the furry subculture hasn't been without controversy. Some have criticized it for sexualization and the representation of animals, but that's beside the point. What's important to focus on is that the furry community promotes creativity, inclusivity, and positive self-expression. So, in conclusion, while they may not be for everyone, we can all recognize that the furry subculture has become a significant part of American society in recent years, and it's not going away anytime soon.

@@randomname7321 Wow, did chatgpt write that?

west Virginia killed their population growth by betting everything on coal jobs and when those disappeared everyone moved to different states for jobs and their yearly personal property tax keeps people from wanting to move back. every year you pay a tax on your pets, cars, farm animals and equipment, all kinds of stuff , they've had the same population since the 1940's

they were mistakes in the video

I love Kentucky, I wouldn't be surprised to see you boom again in the future as the south is growing and Kentucky has some lovely land

find better things to be proud of??

Im from virginia too but if the population was high because of slaves then it’s probably not something to be proud about. But im not sure if this graphic includes slaves as population

@Tommy Haynes actually, since 2000, NY and NC have both had about 4.3% growth. I am from the Catskills

New York's population will continue to crater as people flee the leftwing lunatics running the state government. By the end of the decade, New York could easily lose close to 1 million residents

Am pretty sure immigration was more impactful than the canal

Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah it is interesting see the path your ancestors have taken to where you are now my ancestors are no exception to what you said here

True, I live in southwestern Virginia and my ancestors were scotch-Irish and British but my last name derives from German ancestry. We truly are a melting pot.

I'd also like to know how Black folks and women were counted (I doubt they were at the beginning), and how that influences the numbers. Like, South Carolina had barely any white people for a long time, because it was almost entirely plantations, but they were actually one of the most populous states because there were so many enslaved people. I also am curious why populations don't drop when states split...like, how is it possible that Virginia didn't lose population when West Virginia broke off, or how any of the original colonies didn't lose population when their indefinite western boundaries were turned into separate states. I guess what I'm saying is that this video is interesting, but I have a lot of questions about the data parameters.

Being from there I was, but I also know how it ends lol

Agree with above, but also industry. Space race made its way to FL in the late 50s I believe. Then Disney and subsequent tourist attractions sprung up in the early 70s.

Actually you would probably find that Florida, Texas and California during the 70s up till today is where the vast majority of illegals end up. Even though they're illegal they still become part of the population, and the Democrats voting base

@@greenwave819 Californias Redwoods were wiped out by 90% in nearly 40 years it would be insane.

Most areas in New England were wiped out 1700-early 1800's.

De forestation is very very temporary condition. Imagine mowing your lawn and calling it de grassification. NO- it will grow back. Its only a matter of time. A human life span is nothing compared to the life of a forest. We are just a growth resulting from natural selection which will come and go as ALL species must. Dont worry about "human destruction" of the planet as it will only last maybe 25,000 years and we will all be gone. The earth and the plants will be here long after. BUT. in the end- entropy will cause the universe to come apart and none or our little concerns will be left. So enjoy your brief stay, have a drink, sit back, and watch randomness do the inevitable.

All the virgin white pine forests were wiped out in Michigan and Wisconsin by 1900.
