Philadelphia had a higher population than New York City during the early 19th century, specifically around 1800. At that time, Philadelphia was the largest city in the United States, benefiting from its status as the nation's capital until 1800 and its role as a major commercial hub. However, by the mid-19th century, New York City surpassed Philadelphia in population and continued to grow rapidly thereafter.
