The historical event that caused the United States urban population to climb from 6 million to 44 million between 1860 and 1910 was the development of factories during the industrial revolution. Money was to be made and this made people rush to the cities. They also had popular entertainment attractions that brought people in such as vaudeville amusement parks, etc.
