            <abstract>This boundary files contains historic state/territory boundaries for which the U.S. Census Bureau tabulated data and was produced by the Minnesota Population Center as part of the National Historical Geographic Information System (NHGIS) project. The NHGIS is an National Science Foundation-sponsored project (Grant No. BCS0094908) to create a digital spatial-temporal database of all available historical US aggregate census materials.  The available shapefiles on the NHGIS site represent version 1.0 of historical US state/territory boundary files for the 1790 to 2000 censuses. NHGIS staff dissolved the historic county boundaries to create these state/territory boundaries.  The county boundary files were created by referencing a wide variety of sources and considerable care was taken during their production. U.S. Census Bureau TIGER/Line Census 2000 files provided the 1990 and 2000 county boundaries and the roads, hydrography, and public land survey lines required to construct historic county boundaries.  Locations of historic county boundaries were derived from William Thorndale and William Dollarhide's Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses (1987), various volumes of John H. Long's Atlas of Historical County Boundaries, the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries website (http://www.newberry.org/ahcbp/), and other state-specific sources.  TIGER/Line spatial features that corresponded to boundaries in these sources were used to construct the proper historic boundaries.   When a TIGER/Line feature was not available, we digitized the historic boundary from one of the map sources.  Aggregate data from Michael Haines' Historical Demographic, Economic and Social Data: The United States, 1790-1970 (2001) and Richard Forstall's Population of States and Counties of the United States: 1790 to 1990 (1996) were used to determine whether a county was enumerated during a given census. If a county was not enumerated, notes from those sources were used to attach the county in question to the county with which it was enumerated. If a county was not enumerated and the notes provide no details, the county was considered 'unattached' and it was merged with other unattached land within the state or territory. The unattached areas were kept in the county boundary files so that the NHGIS could dissolve counties to construct states/territories.</abstract>
            			
            <purpose>These data are based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. BCS0094908 - in infrastructure grant provided for the social sciences. Its purpose is twofold. First, the NHGIS created and freely distributes a database incorporating all available aggregate census information for the United States between 1790 and 2000. The database contains information for a wide variety of statistical (blocks, block groups, census tracts, metropolitan statistical areas) and administrative units (places, minor civil divisions, counties, states).  Second, the NHGIS produced and freely distributes boundary files for small areas (census tracts and counties) in the United States. Boundary files for tracts are available for the 1910-2000 censuses, and boundary files for counties  and states/territories are available for the 1790-2000 censuses. The boundaries contained in this file do not necessarily represent legal county boundaries. Instead, they represent the county boundaries over which the U.S. Census Bureau tabulated and published data.</purpose>
            			
            <supplinf>States are the primary legal political and administrative subdivisions of the United States of America. The 50 states plus the District of Columbia comprise the United States. Historically, the United States also contained territories - legal subdivisions that existed as a precursor to statehood.  The NHGIS assigned a three-digit code to every state/territory. The codes were adapted from the FIPS coding system, and NHGIS staff created new codes for territories.  For those historical territories, the NHGIS assigned a new code based on the alphabetical order of all states or territories that have ever existed.</supplinf>

            <attraccr>All county codes were checked against codes in the available aggregate data to ensure accuracy and consistency. The boundary file may contain more or fewer counties than the aggregate data file. Sources for the boundary files sometimes depicted counties that contained no population; thus, they have no record in the aggregate data file.  Sometimes, the aggregate data files contain records for county equivalents that are not mappable (e.g., military forts).  Also, the boundary file sometimes contains an "unattached" county. This section of the state was not counted by the U.S. Census Bureau, but it has been included in order to depict the correct state/territory outline.</attraccr>

        <logic>All spatial data have been reviewed to assure topological consistency and completeness. All polygons close and do not overlap. No voids exist within polygons. ArcGIS topology features classes were used to identify and fix topological errors (e.g., overlaps, voids, missing polygons) in the county boundary datasets. The ArcGIS topology rules used to ensure logical consistency were 'Must not overlap' and 'Must be covered by'.</logic>
        		
        <complete>Version 1.0 of the state/territory boundary files contains states and territories.  Most states/territories, although not all, have a matching record in the aggregate data files.  Territories without a matching record were denoted on source materials as having "no population".  We still made those territories because we had a geographic representation of it.  Version 1.0 boundary files have not been generalized, and states/territories containing parts of the following bodies of water do not have historically accurate coastlines: the Great Lakes, Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and the Gulf of Mexico.  No counties overlap, no voids exist within states/territories, and any polygon belongs to one and only one state/territory. Every state has a FIPS-like code (GISJOIN) that uniquely identifies it.  The aggregate data contains a matching code (GISJOIN) so that the files can be easily joined together.</complete>

To create historic county boundaries, we used existing TIGER lines whereever possible. When no TIGER line existed, we digitized new linework from scanned and rectified Thorndale and Dollarhide (1987) maps for John H. Long (various) maps. These historic county boundaries do not represent legal boundaries and should only be used for thematic mapping and statistical analysis.</horizpar>

                <procdesc>These process steps describe, in general, the procedures used to construct the NHGIS' historical county boundaries. The production procedures vary depending on the available source materials. The base counties were derived from the U.S. Census Bureau's Census 2000 TIGER/Line files. Many historical boundaries were derived from linear features also available in the TIGER/Line files. Those boundaries not available in digital form were digitized from scanned, geo-referenced maps.</procdesc>

Long (various) and Thorndale and Dollarhide (1987) were the main sources for historical boundaries.  Books depicting or describing historical county boundaries existed for some states, and these were used when available. First, the counties, water, and roads were loaded into ArcMap. Second, map topology was created for the county polygon feature class. Third, the roads or water features representing a historical boundary were selected. Fourth, the polygon or polygons that required editing were selected. Finally, the Construct Features option of the ArcMap topology toolbar was used to split the selected polygon(s) with the selected roads and/or water.  If a historical county boundary followed a feature not in the roads or water feature classes, the feature was digitized into the proper feature class.</procdesc>

            <eaover>NHGISST - this attribute is the NHGIS state code, which was adapted from the FIPS codes. NHGIS staff added a third character to the FIPS codes for territories.

ICPSRST - this attribute is the ICPSR state code, which came from the Historical, Demographic, Economic, and Social Data: The United States, 1790-2000 (Haines 2004, http://webapp.icpsr.umich.edu/cocoon/ICPSR-STUDY/02896.xml) dataset. States/territories with no value in the ICPSRST column were not found in the ICPSR dataset.

STATENAM - this attribute is the NHGIS state/territory name. NHGIS staff adapted the county names from Thorndale and Dollarhide (1987), John Long (various), Haines (2004), and current-day FIPS codes.

GISJOIN - this attribute is the NHGISST code and is a unique identifier for a state/territory in a given decade. Use this attribute to join the shapefile's attribute table to aggregate data tables downloaded from the NHGIS website.  Please note that values in GISJOIN begin with "G" in order to retain leading zeros. This update took effect on May 7, 2008.

GISJOIN2 - this attribute is an alternative linking attribute and is similar to GISJOIN except that its values do not begin with "G". GISJOIN2 may be used when linking to an aggregate data file extracted before May 7, 2008.
