CENSUS OF RHODE ISLAND, 1865.* By the settlement of the boundary question with Massachusetts in 1862, the profit and loss to Rhode Island in territory and population was as follows: It need scarcely be repeated that Rhode Island, the smallest State in the Union, is only 50 miles long and 35 miles in width, and that a large portion of this width is taken up by the waters of Narragansett Bay, which, extending inland for some 30 miles, divides the state into two unequal parts, leaving a land territory of only 1.054.6 square miles, with a shore washed by tide-water of 350 miles. 1. PERSONAL CENSUS. The State is divided into five counties, and these contain thirty-three townships, five of which are situated on islands. The smallest town * Report upon the census of Rhode Island, 1865; with statistics of the population, agriculture, fisheries and manufactures of the State prepared under the direction of the Secretary of State, by Edwin M.

In 1865 the population of Massachusetts was 1,267,239, which gives 162.4 to the square mile. In the same year New York had 81.5, and New Jersey 92.9, the square mile; but between these and Massachusetts, Connecticut havabout 110 to the square mile, finds its position. The density of population in France is about the same as in Rhode Island. Prussia, Bavaria, Austria, Denmark, Scotland, Sweden and Norway are less densely populated. The distribution of the population of course varies the density. The cities of Providence and Newport and the six towns, Bristol, Warren, Cranston, Cumberland, North Providence and Pawtucket containing only 117.9 square miles, but a population of 111,670 persons-11 per cent of the area, and 60 per cent. of the population of the State. If we deduct these from the total area and population, we find in the remainder of the State 936.7 square miles, with 73,295 inhabitants, or only 78 persons to each square mile. The seats of manufactures and commerce are denoted by their superior density. The progress of the State in population is given in the following table: |
