Census

A census is an enumeration of population. In the United States the federal government has conducted a census every ten years beginning in 1790, and Kansas conducted a census every ten years from 1855 to 1925. Special censuses have been taken when specific information was wanted. These special censuses include mortality schedules, slave schedules, enumerations of veterans, and censuses of Native Americans living on reservations.
