==Online Federal Censuses==
Territorial censuses are available at the Department of Libraries, Archives and Public Records for 1864, 1866, 1867, 1869, 1871, 1872, and 1882, although they are not all complete. The Family History Library has indexes for 1864, 1866, 1867, and 1869.
===Population Schedules===
Starting in 1790, federal population schedules were taken every 10 years in the United States. [[United States Census|'''Click here for more information''']] about federal census records. <br><br>
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.


======United States Federal Censuses with Online Links======
The Family History Library has the U.S. federal censuses of Arizona for 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920. Arizona was included in the New Mexico census for 1860. The 1860 residents' names are published along with those listed in the 1864 and 1870 census enumerations (FHL book 979.1 X2pa; film 934829). The 1890 census was destroyed.

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?==

*Name of each person in the family at the time the census was taken
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery
*Sex
*Age
*Color
*Nativity
*Place of birth of this person
*Place of birth of Father of this person
*Place of birth of Mother of this person
*Period of Residence
*How long a resident of this State (years and months)
*How long a resident of this enumeration district (years and months)
*Regular occupation
*Military service

Many census records are found at the Family History Library at www.familysearch.org, the National Archives at http://www.archives.gov/, and other federal and state archives. The United States Research Outline provides more detailed information on federal census records.

Territorial censuses are available at the Department of Libraries, Archives and Public Records for 1864, 1866, 1867, 1869, 1871, 1872, and 1882, although they are not all complete. The Family History Library has indexes for 1864, 1866, 1867, and 1869.

The Family History Library has the U.S. federal censuses of Arizona for 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920. Arizona was included in the New Mexico census for 1860. The 1860 residents' names are published along with those listed in the 1864 and 1870 census enumerations (FHL book 979.1 X2pa; film 934829). The 1890 census was destroyed.
