- Oklahoma Censuses, 1890-1900-1907. The 1890 federal
census included population schedules for the newly formed
Oklahoma Territory, and added the Indian tribes of Indian
Territory. The federal census was destroyed in a fire in 1921.
The Territory, however, took a special territorial census in
1890 for its original seven counties. The extant 1900 federal
census for Oklahoma Territory also included population schedules
for Indians. Upon statehood in 1907, the federal government
sponsored a census for Oklahoma, but only the name list for
Seminole County survives at NARA.
