Established,what it means?

Look at this sentence:

...Others are moving to more ESTABLISHED cities of the Northeast and Midwest, such as Boston, Balitmore and Chicago....

Why we use established here instead of orginzed, famous,offical?

Thanks very much..

Others are moving to more ESTABLISHED cities of the Northeast and Midwest, such as Boston, Baltimore and Chicago ' established cities ': cities which were developed earlier and have a firm basis to flourish economically. ' organized cities ' without any modifier sounds unnatural, though 'well organized/planned cities' is a possible choice. ' famous cities ' : do you think people would move to a city just because it is famous?
