This ugly (any designers care to fix it?) but interesting graph shows the rise of Los Angeles from its origins 230 years ago to its rise to the #2 position as Amerca's second largest city. It starts to get interesting around 1910 as L.A. passes more established cities like Baltimore and New Orleans, and continues through 1980 when Chicago is vanquished.
