[ElectionsGuy]

I made (and finally finished) an excel chart that has all the populations for all the states from 1790 to 2010. I want to share them here, with their percentage growth by the years. I will add states to the census after the state was created.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I have compiled a spreadsheet like that as well. It's very helpful for a lot of purposes.

Right now I'm trying to put my hand on some data about the racial/ethnic composition of each State's population, but so far I've only found complete data for 2000 and 2010.

[Gass3268]

Adding the number of congressional districts that each state had after each census would be cool!

Great work, love stuff like this!

I made (and finally finished) an excel chart that has all the populations for all the states from 1790 to 2010. I want to share them here, with their percentage growth by the years. I will add states to the census after the state was created.

1790 Census:

1. Virginia: 691,737
2. Pennsylvania: 434,373
3. North Carolina: 393,751
4. Massachusetts: 378,787
5. New York: 340,120
6. Maryland: 319,728
7. South Carolina: 249,073
8. Connecticut: 237,946
9. New Jersey: 184,139
10. New Hampshire: 141,885
11. Georgia: 82,548
12. Rhode Island: 68,825
13. Delaware: 59,096

Non-state territory: 347,206
Total Population: 3,929,214

I would include the population of KY with VA in 1790; WV with VA from 1790-1860; exclude the VA portion of DC from VA from 1800-1840; TN with NC in 1790; and include the population of ME with MA from 1790-1810.

The first census for Vermont was taken in 1791, and is conventionally included with the 1790 national census.  It would be the 14th state, and have a growth rate for 1800.

Kentucky was still part of Virginia in 1790.  It had applied to admission to the Union under the Articles of Confederation, but the Continental Congress, said that there was this constitution-thingy being considered, and that they should wait.  Delegates were elected from Kentucky to the Virginia ratifying convention, and it had its own district (Virginia 2nd among Virginia's 9th).

John Brown, who had served in the Virginia legislature, and been a Virginia delegate to the Continental Congress, was twice elected to Congress from the Kentucky district of Virginia.  When Kentucky became a state in 1792, Virginia's delegation was reduced to 9, and Brown was elected one of Kentucky's initial US Senators.

West Virginia was part of Virginia until 1863.  The Blue Ridge Mountains were typically used as the eastern boundary of congressional districts, so western Virginia districts would include the Shenandoah Valley, and what is now the southwestern tip of Tennessee.

Maine was part of Massachusetts until 1820 (the census was after Maine statehood).  Just prior to statehood, seven of Massachusetts' 20 congressional districts were in Maine.

I will take into account your suggestions and edit the posts after I'm completely done. I do realize that West Virgina and Maine were states that broke off from another state (Virginia and Massachusetts, respectively), but I didn't realize that Kentucky was part of Virginia and that Vermont was included in the 1790 census, so thanks.

Great work, love stuff like this!

I will maybe do that after I'm completley done, though in the mean time, here's a document that I made a long time ago, if you want to look at that. It might be hard to follow though.
