Last night I sent a mesage to the list with some of the decennial census totals for population of Wayne County. I found the information on population totals between 1820 and 2000 and present them here. I'll also be doing a statistical web page later. Wayne County, Tennessee 1820 - 2,459 1830 - 6,013 1840 - 7,705 1850 - 8,170 1860 - 9,115 1870 - 10,209 1880 - 11,301 1890 - 11,471 1900 - 12,936 1910 - 12,062 1920 - 12,877 1930 - 12,134 1940 - 13,638 1950 - 13,864 1960 - 11,908 1970 - 12,365 1980 - 13,946 1990 - 12,935 2000 - 16,842 The statistics for the years 1820-1900 were found at the United States Historical Census Data Browser http://fisher.lib.virginia.edu/census/ They have statistics for each census year 1790 - 1990 for every county in every state in the country. These statistics are comprehensive, covering all the statistics gathered by the decennial censuses since 1790. The figures for 1900 - 1990 were found at http://www.census.gov/population/cencounts/tn190090.txt It lists the total population figures for each county in Tennessee. By using the following main Census Bureau page you can get statistics for anywhere in the US and elsewhere. http://www.census.gov I think I will be exploring these pages a lot more in the near future. I've had them bookmarked for sometime, but never took the time to really browse them. Edgar
