Stats for Stories: Illinois 200 Years of Statehood: December 3, 2018
Press Release Number CB18-SFS.152
From the Guide to 2010 Census State and Local Geography - Illinois:
“The area of Illinois was part of the original territory of the United States, being part of lands ceded by four states to the United States and designated in 1787 as the ‘Territory northwest of the River Ohio.’ Illinois Territory was organized on February 3, 1809, from the western part of Indiana Territory, and included all of present-day Illinois, most of Wisconsin, the western part of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and northeastern Minnesota.
“Although the territory had not yet been legally established, census data for Illinois are available beginning with the 1800 census. The 1810 population is for the entire area of the Illinois Territory, including territory not in the present state. For an explanation of the revision to the 1800 population of Illinois, see Richard L. Forstall, Population of States and Counties of the United States: 1790-1990, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1996, page 48.
“Data for the legally established state of Illinois are available beginning with the 1820 census.”
