1850 Taos County Census

The 1850 Territory of New Mexico County for Taos County was begun in July of 1850. The census had but one designation called the Northern Division. About 9,500 people appeared on the 1850 Taos County Census.
In 1850, Taos County covered a much greater area than in 1914. The 1850 census included name; age; sex; color; birthplace; if a person attended school, or was married within the year; if the person could read or write; if the person were a deaf-mute, blind, insane, or idiotic; real estate value and occupation. This exhibit was slightly modified to fit our compact table format.
