The law establishing the 1790 US Census had allowed 9 months for the gathering of the census information. The Census was begun on 2 August 1790. A summary of the Census Results was transmitted to Congress in written form by President Washington on 27 October 1791. Data for South Carolina was not included because collecting the information had taken longer then the 9 months allotted, and the time limit had to be extended. South Carolina ended up requiring 18 months to complete the census and their information was tipped into the Congressional Census report after it was printed.
