100 Years of Population Growth by Texas Cities, 1850-1950
Table below shows, for each incorporated place in Texas that had as much as 2,500 popu-
lation in 1950 (or at any previous date), a complete record of population for each decennial
year, insofar as such record exists.
The first census was taken in Texas in 1850, five years after Texas' annexation to the
Union. The census of 1950 was, therefore, the eleventh decennial enumeration by the Federal
Government in Texas, covering 100 years from the census at the beginning of the first decen-
nium until the census at the end of the last decennium.
The official census record is presented below with few exceptions. In some instances, how-
ever, unofficial figures are given where census figures are unavailable. These are explained in
footnotes.
Where no figure is given, it means that the town was not incorporated on that date and
that no census was taken for it. It does not necessarily mean that the town did not exist.
Some Texas towns were in existence many years before incorporating.
