Madison, Indiana, USA

Upstream from Madison on the Ohio River is Cincinnati. Downstream is Louisville. All three cities were founded within a decade or two of 1800. Why did Cincinnati and Louisville grow into national metropolises while Madison shrank from history (even though it was one of the 100 largest cities in the country by 1850)? Think: transportation geography. [2022]
