With the U.S. Census Bureau projecting that the country?s population will soon surpass 300 million, many are looking back at where the nation was when it passed the last such milestone, and Baltimore City is no exception.

When the nation reached the 200 million landmark in 1967, William Donald Schaefer was still campaigning for his first term as City Council president. The city-scarring riots following Martin Luther King Jr.?s assassination were a year off. The Orioles had Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, Boog Powell and Jim Palmer ? but still no winning record ? and the Colts were led by Johnny Unitas to go undefeated for 13 games.
