Size
Though the first two seasons' opening credits of the original Flintstones series stated the town's population as only 2,500 people (though it did swell to 30,000 in a dream sequence in the sixth season episode entitled "Rip Van Flintstone"), Bedrock was generally presented as a medium-sized American city, with all the amenities of such, but with a "prehistoric" twist. For instance, dinosaurs were seen being used as cranes at the town's most well-known employer, "Slate Rock and Gravel" (also known as "Rockhead and Quarry Cave Construction Company" in the series' earlier episodes).

“Delusions that shrink to the size of a womans glove,
Then sicken inclusively outwards:

Intoned by reality, larded with technical terms,
Each one double-yolked with meaning and meanings rebuttal:
For the skirl of that bulletin unpicks the world like a knot....”

With polyhedral eye and shabby clothes,”
