County and City Extra, Special Historical Edition brings together census population data from the earliest days of our nation and some more recent historical data from other federal statistical agencies. For more than 20 years, the County and City Extra series has provided annual up-to-date statistical information for every state, county, metropolitan area, and congressional district, as well as all cities with populations of 25,000 or more. This historical edition provides key data from all of the censuses from 1790 through 2010.
  • Part A provides an overview with selected national data for all available years from the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Bureau of Economic Analysis
  • Part B includes a similar selection of data for the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
  • Part C shows the population of each county from the date of its origins through the 2010 census. Detailed information about the origins of all states and counties is included
  • Part D presents the largest cities for each of the 23 censuses between 1790 and 2010, as well as a table showing the historical populations of all cities with populations of 100,000 or more in 2010.

    • In addition to Parts A, B, C, and D, a section titled "The United States through the Decades" is included highlighting important events in the United States in each decade from 1790 to 2010.
    This edition also includes several figures on topics such as population growth through the decades, foreign-born residents, fastest-growing counties from 1790 to 2010, life expectancy through the years, and per capita income.
  • In 1790, Virginia was the most populous state with over 800,000 residents (including territories that are now West Virginia and Kentucky)
  • Between the first Census and the Civil War, the U.S population grew by more than 30 percent each decade
  • In 1870, only 3 percent of U.S. residents were 65 years old and over. With increased life expectancy and lower birth rates, the proportion had grown to 13 percent by 2010.
  • The 1900 census showed that Wyoming, Montana, and Nevada had 150 men for every 100 women. In 2010, the ratio was 96.7 men for every 100 women at the national level.
  • Mississippi had the lowest per-capita income throughout the 80-year time period between 1930 and 2010.
  • From 1910 to 1920, Los Angeles experienced growth from Hollywood's dominance in the film industry. Its population increased by 81 percent that decade and its land area more than tripled.
