It's Plymouth.

Have Stockport County ever played in the top tier? The population of Stockport is around 280,000

No, they haven't. Worth checking what Plymouth's population is today as a comparison.

Plymouth's population at the last census was 243,795. Stockport's was 136,082.

One on team names, of the 92 league clubs, which was the first to be named "City"?

Off the top of my head I think it's Lincoln City. I did some research on this a few years back and I think they became LCFC in the mid 1880s (they evolved out of a side called Lincoln FC).

Lincoln were the first 'City' to appear in the League (1892). Stoke weren't called Stoke City until the 1920s (Bath were formed in the 1880s but didn't add City until later).

We are the next oldest City in the League after Lincoln.
