The 1890 federal census for Idaho was destroyed. However, the Idaho State Historical Society Public Archives and Research Library is creating a list of [http://www.history.idaho.gov/idaho-1890-reconstructed-census 1890 Idaho residents] by indexing a variety of records, 1885-1894. This reconstructed list will substitute for the destroyed 1890 federal census.

===Existing and Lost Censuses===
*[[Idaho Censuses Existing and Lost|List of existing and lost federal censuses for Idaho]]
 
==Online State and Territorial Censuses==
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>
'''There are no state censuses for Idaho.'''

==Why Use the Census?==
 
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
 
*Street or Avenue, or number Rural Free Delivery

The area that is now [[Idaho Genealogy|Idaho]] was for some years included in the federal censuses under the name of other territories:
 
*'''1870 and later''' in Idaho Territory or State<ref>William Thorndale, and William Dollarhide, ''[http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/16509993 Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses, 1790-1920]'' (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, 1987)[[{{Thorndale}}]], 93.</ref>
*'''1860''' Washington Territory (for Idaho residents, if any, see the Spokane County, Washington census)</ref>
*'''1850''' Oregon Territory (no known white residents in what is now Idaho)<ref>Thorndale and Dollarhide, 281.</ref>
 
Also, in '''1860''' and '''1870''' a few households on thin slices of far southern Idaho were included in the federal censuses of Cache County, and possibly Box Elder County, Utah.</ref>
 
Also, the '''1856 territorial census''' of Utah included residents in "Malad County" and the northern part of Cache County who lived on the south edge of Idaho.<ref name="BLDilts" />
 
Idaho itself did not take any state or territorial censuses of its residents.

=== 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.
