The first recorded census is believed to have taken place in ancient Mesopotamia around 3800 BC. This early census was conducted by the Sumerians and was primarily used for tax purposes and resource management. It involved counting people, livestock, and goods to understand the population and economic resources of the region. Subsequently, other ancient civilizations, such as Egypt and Rome, also implemented their own censuses for administrative purposes.
