Alaska was purchased by the United States in 1867; however, it was not significantly settled until the turn of the twentieth century. Alaska was first enumerated in 1870, but due to extreme weather and spring hunting, the enumerators did not get accurate counts until the 1900 census.

State censuses are census records that were taken at the state level rather than at the federal. Often, but not always, a state took their census in ten-year increments, five years from when the Federal Census was taken, such as in 1885. State censuses can even serve as substitutes for missing federal censuses. For more information on state censuses, visit [https://www.census.gov/history/www/genealogy/other_resources/state_censuses.html United States Census Bureau].<br><br>
 
Territorial censuses were taken by the federal government to count the population in federal territories. The government needed to count the population in the territory to see if it could qualify for statehood. For more information on territorial censuses, visit the [[United States Census Territorial|US Territorial Census page]].<br><br>

=== Why use a census?  ===
 
A well-indexed census is one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there. You can also use censuses to follow the changes in a family over time, and identify neighbors. These and other clues provided by censuses are important because they help find additional kinds of records about the family.
