The earliest federal census of the area that is now Oklahoma is the 1860 census of Arkansas, which included what was then the Indian Territory. This census does not list Indians, but lists free and slave inhabitants in the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole nations. The slave schedules provide the names of slave owners, but not the names of slaves. | The earliest federal census of the area that is now Oklahoma is the 1860 census of Arkansas, which included what was then the Indian Territory.

In addition to the federal territorial censuses, a separate census was taken in 1890 of the Oklahoma Territory (FHL film 227,282). This includes information on the entire household but is incomplete for some areas. A card index is available at the State Historical Society. A helpful source for locating families in this census is Smith's ''First Directory of Oklahoma Territory: For the Year Commencing August 1st, 1890'' (see the [[Oklahoma Directories|“Directories”]] section of this outline). | In addition to the federal territorial censuses, a separate census was taken in 1890 of the Oklahoma Territory (FHL film 227,282).
