The changing profile of a city in the United States is apparent in the shifting definitions used by

the United States Bureau of the Census In 1870 the census officially distinguished the nation's “urban”

from its “rural” population for the first time “Urban population” was defined as persons living in towns

of 8,000 inhabitants or more But after 1900 it meant persons living in incorporated places having 2,500

or more inhabitants

Then, in 1950 the Census Bureau radically changed its definition of “urban” to take account ofthe new vagueness of city boundaries In addition to persons living in incorporated units of 2,500 or

more, the census now included those who lived in unincorporated units of that size, and also all persons

living in the densely settled urban fringe, including both incorporated and unincorporated areas locatedaround cities of 50,000 inhabitants or more Each such unit, conceived as an integrated economic andsocial unit with a large population nucleus, was named a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA)

Each SMSA would contain at least (a) one central city with 50,000 inhabitants or more or (b) twocities having shared boundaries and constituting, for general economic and social purposes, a single

community with a combined population of at least 50,000, the smaller of which must have a population

of at least 15,000 Such an area included the county in which the central city is located, and adjacentcounties that are found to be metropolitan in character and economically and socially integrated with thecounty of the central city By 1970, about two-thirds of the population of the United States was living inthese urbanized areas, and of that figure more than half were living outside the central cities

While the Census Bureau and the United States government used the term SMSA (by 1969 there were

233 of them), social scientists were also using new terms to describe the elusive, vaguely defined areas reaching out from what used to be simple “towns” and “cities” A host of terms came into use:

“metropolitan regions,” “polynucleated population groups,” “conurbations,” “metropolitan clusters,”

“megalopolises,” and so on

Then, in 1950 the Census Bureau radically changed its definition of “urban” to take account ofthe new vagueness of city boundaries In addition to persons living in incorporated units of 2,500 or

more, the census now included those who lived in unincorporated units of that size, and also all persons

living in the densely settled urban fringe, including both incorporated and unincorporated areas locatedaround cities of 50,000 inhabitants or more Each such unit, conceived as an integrated economic andsocial unit with a large population nucleus, was named a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area(SMSA)

Each SMSA would contain at least (a) one central city with 50,000 inhabitants or more or (b) twocities having shared boundaries and constituting, for general economic and social purposes, a single

community with a combined population of at least 50,000, the smaller of which must have a population

of at least 15,000 Such an area included the county in which the central city is located, and adjacentcounties that are found to be metropolitan in character and economically and socially integrated with thecounty of the central city By 1970, about two-thirds of the population of the United States was living inthese urbanized areas, and of that figure more than half were living outside the central cities

While the Census Bureau and the United States government used the term SMSA (by 1969 there were

233 of them), social scientists were also using new terms to describe the elusive, vaguely defined areas reaching out from what used to be simple “towns” and “cities” A host of terms came into use:

“metropolitan regions,” “polynucleated population groups,” “conurbations,” “metropolitan clusters,”

“megalopolises,” and so on

Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season.

Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like

that of fresh milk, was very limited; there was no way to prevent spoilage But in 1810 a French inventor

named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of canning And in the 1850's anAmerican named Gail Borden developed a means of condensing and preserving milk Canned goods andcondensed milk became more common during the 1860's, but supplies remained low because cans had to

be made by hand By 1880, however, inventors had fashioned stamping and soldering machines thatmass-produced cans from tinplate Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times

of the year

Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their dailydiets Growing urban populations created demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raisemore produce Railroad refrigerator cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great

distances and to preserve them for longer periods Thus, by the 1890's, northern city dwellers could

enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most,for up to six months of the year In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to storeperishables An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870's, and by 1900the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries The

icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator replaced it in

the 1920's and 1930's

Almost everyone now had a more diversified diet Some people continued to eat mainly foods that were

heavy in starches or carbohydrates, and not everyone could afford meat Nevertheless, many families

could take advantage of previously unavailable fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to achieve more varied fare

Causes of food spoilage Commercial production of ice Inventions that led to changes in the American dietPopulation movements in the nineteenth century

The changing profile of a city in the United States is apparent in the shifting definitions used by

the United States Bureau of the Census In 1870 the census officially distinguished the nation's “urban”

from its “rural” population for the first time “Urban population” was defined as persons living in towns

of 8,000 inhabitants or more But after 1900 it meant persons living in incorporated places having 2,500

or more inhabitants.

Then, in 1950 the Census Bureau radically changed its definition of “urban” to take account ofthe new vagueness of city boundaries In addition to persons living in incorporated units of 2,500 or

more, the census now included those who lived in unincorporated units of that size, and also all persons

living in the densely settled urban fringe, including both incorporated and unincorporated areas locatedaround cities of 50,000 inhabitants or more Each such unit, conceived as an integrated economic andsocial unit with a large population nucleus, was named a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area(SMSA)
