 1836 Wisconsin Territorial Census
This census has been transcribed for the Iowa State Census Project. You can view Des Moines County HERE.
The area called Des Moines, or Demoine, includes the land south of a line drawn due west from the lower end of Rock Island to the Missouri River. Pages 17-19 of the census, labeled by the census taker as the "Western part of Des Moines County," have been indentified by Rich Lowe (IAGenWeb coordinator for Van Buren County) as the portion now Van Buren County. Who can identify the portion that is the current Des Moines County?
1838 Wisconsin Territorial Census
On 4 July 1838, a short time after this census was taken, Iowa Territory was split off from Wisconsin Territory, organized and incorporated. A full census enumeration (names of heads-of-households and family totals) is shown on microfilm for some counties, but the new Des Moines County only gives the total population—4605.
