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.
