187 Words1 Page

Since its establishment in 1784, Montgomery County has experienced a rapid growth in population. During the mid-1800 's, there was a major urban development that took place in the United States. As Montgomery County is the neighbor of Philadelphia, one of the most industrialized regions in the U.S. at that time, this helps explain the intense uprise of the population. Within five decades, the population was more than twice of the initial census data. The highest recorded population growth occurred in 1960, where the population grew by about 46.3 percent. In contrast, Philadelphia encountered a major population decrease by about 3.3 percent. This is due to the decline of industrialism in major cities as suburbs began to expand and attract people.
