 Federal census
records for Oregon began in 1850 and continued
every ten years thereafter. They are currently
available through 1920 (excepting the mostly
destroyed 1890 census). All are indexed except
for the 1910 enumeration. Territorial and state
census records reflect the rapid growth of the
Oregon country. These census enumerations were
taken in 1842, 1843, 1845, 1849, 1853, 1854,
1855, 1856, 1857, 1858, 1859, 1865, 1875, 1885,
1895, and 1905, though only portions of these
enumerations have survived. Most of these
censuses include only the name of the head of
household, although the 1895 and 1905 censuses
include some information on all members of the
household. The following census rolls are on file
at the Oregon State Library, the Oregon
Historical Society, the University of Oregon
Library, and the FHL.
