Cahokia, located in modern-day Illinois, at its peak around 1250 A.D. had a population of 20,000—close in size to medieval London. During festival times it could swell in size to 100,000 or more.

As a city, Cahokia was populated and growing for over 250 years then declined and disappeared completely before the Columbian era ever began. The USA is not quite 250 years old, to add some perspective.
