POPULATION OF OHIO BY COUNTIES DURING AND AT TH THE CLOSE OF THE FIRST CENTURY OF STATE HISTORY. 1802-1901. (Compiled from the Twelfth Census of the United States.) 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 government, 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 northwestern 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. |
