[tz] About the core city of a tz region

I am curious about the protocol that tz uses to specify the name of each
tz region.
Is the core city in a region always the most populous city in the tz region?
And what is done if a smaller city's population overtakes the named
city? Is the zone renamed?
Also, since historical data (pre-1970) is now maintained only for the
named city in a region, does it not make sense to use the population as
of 1970, since the historical records actually affected more people at
that time?
