McKeesport was once a lot larger (pop peaked in the 40s at ~55k; now down to ~17k), but wasn't actually ever the 3rd largest in the state. Even at its peak, there were other cities (e.g., Allentown, Harrisburg, Erie, Reading, Scranton, Altoona, Johnstown) with larger populations.

That said, McKeesport was definitely way more populated before than it is now.
