Don't forget that MCI also used to be the hub for Braniff and Vanguard. It never really was a hub for TW, just a major destination.
RNO was a hub for Reno Air.
RDU was the base for Midway
MCO was the primary hub for AirTran before its merger with ValueJet.
National was based out of LAS.

BNA = American Airlines
MEM = Delta Airlines
Also, I wouldn't put the Republic hubs in MSP, DTW and MEM in the "used-to-be hubs" status, as they all three still exist under the auspices of Republic's merger partner, Northwest. DTW and MSP were North Central hubs before Republic, and Memphis was a Southern Airways hub.

LAX and SLC used to be Western's main hubs.
ATL was also a hub of Eastern.
CLT used to be Piedmont's home base.
EWR used to be Kiwi's hub.
MCI was not a hub for TWA, it was however a maintenace center for TWA.
BWI used to be a hub of US Air.
RDU was the base for Midway: the NEW Midway, the one that had F100's, A320's and NG737's, not the old one. The old one, which had DC-9's and 737-200's, used to have a hub in PHL. Just remember that there have been two Midway's in US airline history.
National was based out of LAS: the NEW National, the one that had 757's, not the old one. The old one used to be based in JFK before merging with Pan Am. Remember also that there have been two National's in US airline history.

I believe WestAir (besides feeding UA at LAX and SF0) had small commuter aircraft hubs at SMF and FAT.
Fresno (FAT) also was to be the hub for short-lived Air 21.

MKE: NW
Although not as large as the MSP/DTW/MEM ops, NW used to fly out of MKE to LAX, SFO, SEA (seasonal), YYZ, BOS, EWR, LGA, PHL, DCA, MIA (seasonal), with a bunch of Mesaba flights to IND, CWA, etc. (In addition of course to their three hubs, which are still served from MKE today.) MKE lost its "mini-hub" status in 1992.

I believe the "old" National had its hub at MIA, not JFK.
JFK was the main hub for Tower Air.

MDW and LGA were, of course, in their time, hubs for American and others.
Heck, even the DC-10 and L-1011 were designed to be able to operate from LGA...
DAL was also a hub, wasn't it, prior to the building of DFW?
