Notes:

  • Johnstown is best known for the devastation caused by the 1889 flood, but it was a thriving city once again by the 1920s. However, its population peaked with the 1920 census and has declined by 72% over the past 100 years.
  • The assorted Riverside/BiLo/Ideal after about 1995 or so become really hard to keep up with, particularly given that this is the point when the city directories also become less dependable. I’v done what I can and that’s all I’ll say!
