Arizona Census

Many census records for Arizona are found at the Family History Library at www.familysearch.org, the National Archives at http://www.archives.gov/, and other federal and state archives. The United States Research Outline provides more detailed information on federal census records.

Territorial censuses are available at the Department of Libraries, Archives and Public Records for 1864, 1866, 1867, 1869, 1871, 1872, and 1882, although they are not all complete. The Family History Library has indexes for 1864, 1866, 1867, and 1869.

The Family History Library has the U.S. federal censuses of Arizona for 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920. Arizona was included in the New Mexico census for 1860. The 1860 residents' names are published along with those listed in the 1864 and 1870 census enumerations (FHL book 979.1 X2pa; film 934829). The 1890 census was destroyed.

Statewide indexes exist for 1870 and 1870 and 1880 schedules (FHL books 979.1 X2a 1870, 979.1 X2a 1880).
