A BIT OF HISTORY.
In the decade ending with 1910 the
population of Delaware was 202, 322,
ranking it rs forty-seventh State in the
Union. In the first census in 1870 Della
ware ranked as sixteenth State with n
population of 59,096. Delaware's in
crease in population i'm 1910 was IL ,5S7,
or 9.5 per cent over 1900. In total area
Delaware ranked as forty-seventh State
in 1910 with l.065 square miles of land,
making its population per square mile
l03 inhabitants.
Delaware showed slower and more
irregular growth in the earlier censuses
than II has in the later ones. From 1890
"a 1910 the absolute increase in popula-
tion was 13 ,57S, or % per cent; from 1910
to 1910 the increase was SAIL, or IA
per cent The increase in the so years from
1900 to 1910 was 1889 or 81 / per cent
During tho next 80 years, from 1910 to
1890, the population of the State more
than doubled From 1890 to 1910 the
absolute increase was 33,S2o, or 20i por
cent The absolute increase for the ten
years ending 1910 nearly equalled the
total growth in the population of the
State from 1870 to 1910.
Comparison Of the rates of increase for
the State with those for the United States
shows that the increase during each dec
ado has been much less rapid for the State
than for the country as n whole. The
population Of the State in 1910 was less
than three and one-half times as large Us
in 200, while the population OF the United
states in l9l0was more than twentv-three
