Arizona was a part of Mexico until the end of the Mexican-American War in 1848, when it was given to the United States as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Therefore, Arizona was not included in census prior to 1850. Additionally, until 1862, Arizona was part of the New Mexico territory.

==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
=== Federal non-population schedules  ===
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 5 years from when the Federal Census was taken, such as 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 the Census?==
==== Indexes: fiche, film, or book  ====
State census records can be one of the easiest ways to locate where an ancestor's family lived and when they lived there. Information varies based on year and location, but information that may be included in a census can include:
 
*Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
For a list of microform and book indexes for the non-population schedules of Arizona, [[Arizona Non-Population Schedule Indexes: Fiche, Film, or Book|click here]].
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
 
*Sex

*Age
 
*Color
Arizona took many censuses in the years between the federal censuses. The dates are listed below. State census records may have columns that were different or more unusual than those found on federal censuses. The responses and years of coverage may give additional information on the family.

=== 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.

Why use a census?[edit | edit source]

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.
