This census consisted of enumerating the inhabitants of each munici- pality by name, address, sex and age on family cards. The cards, together with a sworn statement of the total of such census, were forwarded to the ofl&ce of the Secretary from each of the 355 municipaUties in the Commonwealth for verification and tabulation. In accordance with the provisions of the census act (see Section 6 of Section 1, Chapter 25, Acts of 1934) the special enumeration of legal voters required by Articles XXI and XXII of the Amendments to the Constitution was determined by obtain- ing a sworn statement from the election commissioners or registrars of voters in each city and town of the Conmaonwealth, of the number of registered voters in their respective cities or towns on January 1, 1935, specifying in the case of cities the number of registered voters in each ward. 4 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS — 1935, Table 1. — Population of Massachusetts for 170 Years, as determined by Census Enumberations, 1765-1935. [The Commonwealth of Massachusetts covers part of the territory originally granted to the Plymouth Company of England. It grew out of the consolidation of the colonies of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay. The settlement at Plymouth began with the landing of the Pilgrims, December 22, 1620. The colony of Massachusetts Bay originated with the settlement under John Endecott at Salem, in 1628. In 1643, a confederacy was formed consisting of the colonies of Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, Connecticut and New Haven. In 1692, under a new charter given by William III, the colonies of Massachusetts Bay and Plymouth were consolidated as a royal province, including also Maine. In 1780, after the Revolution, the present State Constitution was adopted. In January, 1788, the Constitution of the United States was ratified by Massachusetts. The colonists in New Hampshire, in 1641, as a measure of protection and defence against the Indians, allied themselves with the colony of Massachusetts Bay and remained part of said colony until 1679, when New Hampshire was made a separate royal province, Massachusetts thereby losing part of its territory, January 1, 1680. The territory now comprising the State of Maine was set off from Massachusetts by an act passed March 3, 1820, taking effect March 15, 1820. By the Province Char- ter of 1692, certain islands now comprising the county of Dukes County and Nantucket County were ceded to Massachusetts from New York (see county of Dukes County). Certain common lands in Berkshire County, known as the District of Boston Corner, were ceded to the State of New York May 14, 1853. By a settlement of a boundary controversy between Massachusetts and Rhode Island, certain exchanges of territory were made between these States April 10, 1861.] Years. Population. Authority.

' The discrepancy which may be noted between the State and the United States Census figures for 1840 and 1850 is, partly at least, due to the exclusion from the State enumeration in those years of "paujjers and convicts in the State Prison."

' Estimated. * By the Census of May, 1840, the population of Boston was 84,401. Mr. Lemuel Shattuck, in his report on the Census of Boston for 1845, shows clearly that the United States Census of 1840 was incorrect. ' Included also in the population of Dorchester in this year. After 1855 Washington Village is included in South Boston. 'The population of East Boston (i.e., the present Ward 1), as usually given in census tables, includes that of the islands in the harbor, but is here given separately, so that it should be understood that the total ward population, popularly referred to as "East Boston," includes the figure for both these columns.

It is difl5cult, therefore, to give the exact population of each districty by the Census of 1880. The figures given are the result of very careful study of the population by census enumeration districts, of which there were 208 in Boston for the United States Census of 1880. 8 Population of the islands included in that of East Boston. » The figures presented for South Boston, Dorchester, Roxbury, and West Roxbury are carefully made up to cover the geographical area originally belonging to each subdivision. The lines enabling this to be done were not exactly observed in the Censuses of 1875, 1880, 1885, 1890, or 1895. In each of these years, therefore, the population of the subdivisions, as stated in the table, is approxirnate only, inasmuch as the area considered under each head was approximate. But while it is a mechanical impossibility to so lay out the enumeration districts as to enable a presentation to be made of the exact population of these sub- divisions following their original boundary lines, in view of the greater obligation to present the population by wards whose boundaries do not conform to the original boundaries of the subdivisions in question, the tabulations for these subdivisions are presented with much greater accuracy for the Censuses of 1900, 1905, 1910, 1915, 1920, 1925, 1930, and 1935, than for preceding censuses. Comparisons of the figures between 1875 and 1935 are somewhat affected, therefore, by this fact. As these several subdivisions, moreover, have no political significance, not being represented as such in the frame of government, and have what may be termed an artificial existence only, the tabulation as given above for each census may he accepted for all practical purposes as representing as approximately accurate a presentation as it is possible to give. 26 CENSUS OF MASSACHUSETTS — 1935.
