WASHINGTON

CENSUS REPORTS

1860 - 1930

UPDATED NOVEMBER 16, 2009

In the late 1700s, some American fur traders came to this area. John Jacob Astor established the first settlement called Astoria. In 1846, England gave up its clam to the area and the border with Canada was established. In 1848, Washington was part of the newly formed Oregon Territory. In 1853, Washington became its own Territory and in 1889 became the 42^nd State. Gold was discovered in 1860 in Walla Walla and the railroad reached the area in 1888. The first census reports were taken while it was only a Territory.

WASHINGTON 1860 CENSUS
