1882
CENSUS INDEX OF TOMBSTONE ARIZONA TERRITORY
The 1882 Census of Arizona Territory was a special census conducted in
that year due to the creation of the new counties of Cochise, Graham,
and Gila in 1881. The census was conducted for the new counties as well
as those parent counties from which they were formed, which included
Apache, Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima. The 1882 Census of Arizona Territory
is unlike the federal census in that the information it contains is very
brief. It only gives the name of the individual, the age, and place of
nativity.
The 1882 Census Index of Tombstone Arizona Territory is a compiled and
alphabetized index of those individuals who lived in Tombstone Arizona
Territory in 1882. The index contains some 5300 names of those
individuals who lived there as of July 1882. The original census sheets
for Tombstone consisted of 265 pages of names, with 20 names per sheet.
Due to the magnitude of the number of pages it would not be feasible,
nor would it be cost effective, to include copies of the original sheets
in this volume. I have included a copy of a sample sheet to depict how
the originals appeared in their original handwriting.
The 1882 Census Index of Tombstone Arizona Territory should provide an
invaluable tool for historic and genealogical researchers as well as
those who are curious about who lived there. A researcher can now look
in the alphabetized listing to find anyone they are interested in,
instead of having to “hand search” the original copies. Also included
in the index is the page number of the original sheet on which the
individual can be found.
