About 1860 United States Federal Census
Enumerators of the 1860 census were instructed to record the names of every person in the
household. Added to this, enumerators were presented with printed instructions, which account 
for the greater degree of accuracy compared with earlier censuses. Enumerators were asked to 
include the following categories in the census: name; age as of the census day; sex; color; 
birthplace; occupation of persons over age fifteen; value of real estate; whether married within 
the previous year; whether deaf, dumb, blind, insane, a pauper, or a convict; whether able to 
read or speak English; and whether the person attended school within the previous year. No 
relationships were shown between members of a household. The categories allowed 
Congress to determine persons residing in the United States for collection of taxes and the 
appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives.
The 1860 census includes the following states and territories: Alabama, Arkansas, California, 
Connecticut, Dakota Territory, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, 
Iowa, Kansas Territory (includes parts of Colorado), Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, 
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska Territory (includes parts 
of North and South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming), New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico 
Territory (includes Arizona), New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode 
Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington Territory and 
Wisconsin.
The United States was the first country to call for a regularly held census. The Constitution 
required that a census of all "Persons...excluding Indians not taxed" be performed to determine 
the collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives. The first 
nine censuses from 1790 to 1870 were organized under the United States Federal Court 
system. Each district was assigned a U.S. marshal who hired other marshals to administer 
the census. Governors were responsible for enumeration in territories.
The official enumeration day of the 1860 census was 1 June 1860. All questions asked were 
supposed to refer to that date. By 1860, there were a total of thirty-three states in the Union, 
with Minnesota and Oregon being the latest editions. There were no substantial state- or 
district-wide losses.
