∙ 11y agoNo, New York did not become the biggest city in the US until a few decades after the Revolution. At first, the biggest "city" in the colonies was Boston, first settled in the 1620s and officially organized in 1630. There were a few settlers around the spot later named Philadelphia at about the same time, but the population did not grow significantly until 1681, when William Penn received a charter for the area. He organized the city and his policy of religious tolerance drew many settlers. In 1700, Boston was still the largest city, with 7,000 people. By the time of the Revolution, Boston had more than doubled in size to 16,000, but was third largest behind Philadelphia, with a population of around 30,000, and New York, with around 25,000 people.
