The 1910 U.S. Census was the thirteenth federal census and provides valuable information for anyone researching families in Idaho. Conducted on April 15, 1910, this census included not only the usual details of names, ages, and occupations but also questions about citizenship, years of immigration, and whether a person spoke English.
For Idaho, the 1910 Census captures a state still in its early years of growth. Mining, farming, and logging were major industries, drawing workers from across the United States and from abroad. Many new immigrants arrived from Europe and Asia, and the census documents their communities as they settled into the region.
The 1910 Idaho Census Index makes it easier to locate these records, helping genealogists and historians trace families, follow migration patterns, and understand the daily life of people living in Idaho at the start of the 20th century.
