Minnesota Census Notes: Even though there were settlers in what today is called Minnesota by the year 1820, census records are scarce for people who lived in this area of the northwest territory. In 1830 & 1840, some of the people living in this part of the territory, were enumerated by Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa census takers. It is a good idea to check those states if you find yourself at a dead end. In particular, there were many enumerated in St. Croix County, WI and Clayton County, IA. The first official MN census ordered by the U.S. Government, is the 1849 Minnesota Territorial Census. Minnesota Federal Census records begin with the 1850 Territorial Census. Another census was taken in 1857 just prior to statehood. After that, federal censuses for Minnesota were conducted every 10 years: 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930. The 1890 Minnesota Federal Census Records were destroyed by fire with the exception of Rockford Precinct of Wright County. The 1890 Veterans and Widows schedules did survive the fire and can be used as a census substitute. Soundex code (phonetic indexes) for Minnesota Federal census records are available on microfilm for census years: 1880, 1900 and 1920. Minnesota State Census Records are available for years 1853, 1855, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895 and 1905. Learn what questions were asked in each census year and where to find census records online.

Many people are confusing this with Mahnomen County. The two are not related in any way. Manomin County was actually the land encompassed by the boundaries of the townships of Fridley and Columbia Heights, Minnesota. By an act of the Legislative Assembly, passed on the 23, May 1857, Anoka Co. was organized with the same boundaries as today with the exception of the southeastern tip of the County. The organization at that time did not include the Twp. of Fridley which was organized the same day as Manomin (or Mahnomen as it was also spelled) County. Manomin county contained the exact lines of the former Twp. of Fridley including Columbia Heights and was organized through an error, intentional or otherwise. On the 12, April 1870, a petition, signed by a majority of voters of Manomin Co., for admission as a township, was presented to the County Commissioners of Anoka County, was granted. This information is courtesy of "History of Anoka County" copyright 1905.
