Wikipedia it? There are some pretty small towns on there: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry,_El_Dorado_County,_California

The city's website may have it. Or use wikipedia.

Just google search "Population of City, State" and decide what category it fits in....

Agree. Google 'wiki + hometown' and you'll have your answers.

Edit: That may not be clear. Go with the word wiki, and the city name, ie, 'wiki milwaukee'. Don't start throwing plus signs all over the place; google will get boolean on your ass...

Basically, my first source of info for almost anything is wikipedia.

I usually see the population posted on signs when I drive into town.
