The State Census for South Dakota in 1895
Description
French explorers are known to have made their way to what is now South Dakota
as early as 1743. The Spanish held dominion over the land for the first part
of the eighteenth century, but South Dakota was sold to the United States as
part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. By the late 1800s, there were enough
people in the territory to create two states. Thus, the U.S. Congress approved
the division of the territory creating the states of North Dakota and South
Dakota in 1889. This database is an index to the first official state census
in 1895. The following counties are represented in this census: Beadle, Butte, Pratt (now Jones), Presho (now Lyman), Campbell, and Charles Mix.
Extended Description
For most of this census, the names of each individual family member is written
out. In one section, however, the census enumerator only keyed heads of families
and used slash marks in the age and sex columns to indicate the number of people
in the family. The age is recorded in the column denoting sex. These columns
are further divided into age groupings (Male/Female below age six, etc.). The
nationality is recorded in other columns with the country of origin. Only a
slash mark is used to record that unless the country is not listed. The enumerator
was supposed to use a set abbreviation for four countries (S for Spanish, T
for Turk, B for Bohemian, and C for Chinese). If the enumerator made up his
own abbreviation for another country, he was supposed to record what the abbreviation
meant. Most of the time the did not tell you what it meant. (One of them did
use H for Holland.)
