POPULATION OF OHIO BY COUNTIES DURING AND AT THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST CENTURY OF STATE HISTORY.
1802 - 1901.
(Compiled from the Twelfth Census of the United States.)
T HE first census of that part of the United States which is now the State of Ohio, was taken in 1800, under the government of the Northwest Territory. For purposes of comparison by decades, the census of 1800 is treated as though it was under the present govern- ment, but it should be remembered that the "Wayne County" of 1800, is not identical with the "Wayne County" of 1900, but was the early century name for Northwestern Ohio and the State of Michigan. It should also be remembered that in 1800, Hamilton County covered the whole western part of the present state up to the present site of the city of Lima; that Trumbull, Jefferson, and Washington Counties covered the territory from the present site of Ironton on the Ohio river, up the Ohio river and almost to the lake ; that the central part of Ohio from the river to Upper Sandusky comprised the counties of Adams, Ross, and Tuscarawas, with the north- western quarter of the present state joined with Michigan under the name of Wayne County. The State of Ohio was organized by the adoption of its first constitution at Chillicothe, November 29, 1802.

This rate of increase is. slightly less than that for the decade immediately preceding, when it was 14.8 per cent, although the numerical increase is somewhat greater. During the earlier decades of the century the state increased in popula- tion rapidly, but the greatest numerical increase (581,564) occurred in the. decade from 1830 to 1840. Since 1850 the development of the state in population has been comparatively steady.

The total land surface of Ohio is, approximately, 40,760 square miles, the average number of persons to the square mile at the censuses of 1890 and 1900 being as follows : 1890, 90.1; 1900, 102.0.
