Venice at fifty-five or so. I can't remember exactly because it was growing every three to five turns even in the late game. Food caravans, you rock.

Playing as the Inca on Gods and Kings I managed to get 4 cities in the mid to high 40s on this map:http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=20372
I started in the bottom left corner

Pop 52 T246 OCC SV in GnK(Korea). It's quite possible to achieve more now with internal trade routes but there's hardly a point beyond pop50 where you work all tiles and all specialists. It's actually becoming detrimental since the citizens no longer get the secularism bonus and I don't think the Statue of Liberty contributes to their hammer yield anymore either.

My recent game as Venice= half of trade routes sending food to Venice starting in the Industrail. Venice=62 pop. Standard Pace, turn 392 Diplo Victory.
Standard game, continents, G&K last turn 306 science victory, Tradition tree as a starter and some food growth benefits from religion.
Palenque 50, obviously could have been bigger with more grassland hexes around
Total population ~140mil at the end of game.
Spoiler :
I see how you did that. You had a lot of salt. Salt is awesome - mine hammers + 4 food.

Probably a dumb question, but where are your units?

I think today I'm gonna use IGE w/ Spain and surround my city with Lake Victorias. Might as well cheat in Hanging Gardens, Floating Gardens, and all the other food buildings at the beginning of the game. Might put in a Solomon's mines or 2 for production and a Mt. Sinai for faith. Yup, legitimacy.

Is there a 'bare map' toggle button that removes units?

It was ~60ish. I was the Inca, went tradition, got both the Temple of Artemis, and the Hanging Gardens, food trade routes to my capitol, AND had a bunch of good spots for my terrace farms.
I remember this one guy posting a picture of him playing as Venice, using all 18 of his trade routes to send food to his capitol. He had a 109 population city!

Only 4,000 BPT at T351 ? Weak.

I'm trying to picture what was going on in Venice for the citizens. It's some combination of non-stop orgy that refuels every time another cargo ship drops off another load of food.
You're welcome for that mental image.

Got 65 citizens in Delhi before I got bored. But that was a one-city challenge.

Can't really blame them as half of them are unemployed... At least there's *something* productive for them to do!

Sorry I just looked at the last page of this thread but cities of 30-40 shouldn't be considered in this thread. 50+ should really be the min. Between internal trade routes and maritime CS you can get 40+ within 300 turns without a problem, more if you can get coastal trade routes going.
I was playing a co-op MP game with my friend last week and had Amsterdam (with 0 polders) at size 40 by turn 310. With Aztecs and a good lake start I've had size 50 within 250 turns (but maybe thats unfair since aztecs gets +4 food lake tiles before civil service).
I'm sure there was a post a while ago about some guy who had Venice at size 100+ on archipelago map because of extra trade routes.
Edit: Sorry Aparrently I didn't read the last page, just clicked on page 10
