In the early 1700s, several American cities were established and named, including Philadelphia (founded in 1682) and New Orleans (founded in 1718). Other notable early cities include Charleston, which was officially established in 1670 but grew significantly during this period, and Boston, founded in 1630 but continuing to develop as a major city.
