The first national census of the United States of America was in the year 1790. It has since been completed every ten years; but not until the 1850 census did the census-takers ask the names of every member of the household. Up until then, they only asked the name of the head of household and the number of inhabitants.

Censuses have been taken for thousands of years. The reason Mary and Joseph were in Bethlehem was so they could be counted for a Roman Census.

The first Census taken under the US Constitution was done in 1790.

1790 was the first election in the USA, after the American revolution. However, in 1086 in England the Domesday Book is largely regarded as the first "modern" census.
