SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13: THE 1880 CENSUS
Profile America -- Sunday, December 13th. The national census next April will be the 23rd time this once-a-decade count has been conducted since 1790. The 10th census in 1880 profiled a nation coping with the Industrial Revolution. There were just over 50 million residents in the 38 states of the U.S., and the largest city, New York, topped the one million mark in population. In the decade to follow, Mark Twain published "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," the Statue of Liberty, a gift of France, arrived in New York Harbor, and pharmacist John Pemberton invented Coca-Cola. At the decade's end, the first issue of the Wall Street Journal was published. Profile America is a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau, now preparing for the 2010 Census.
