Here's an 1890 Population by County California Census,

[Old California]

Posted this on another forum several years ago, Actually 1890 print and map of California and a Population of California by Counties 1890 Census.

Surprisingly, The population of several counties was so low even in counties we would expect higher populated areas.

Here are a few examples, These are a few gold rush communities so surely the population was much higher during the gold rush era of (1850-60's).

El Dorado........9,232
Mariposa.........3,787
Stanislaus......10,040

Hopefully each county can be viewed, If not ask which county you live in and I'll post it's 1890 census.

Paul,

Thanks for posting! Now it makes clear sense why the guys in LA county find more old coins than I do in San Diego!

Thanks Ziphius,

Although 1890 is not that old, This 1890 population census does give us a general idea what the population in our counties were during those times.

It also helps me determine a town/city's growth or in some rare cases a reduced population between a certain time leading up to 1890, Good tool for reseach purposes.
