Figure 1.7

Comparison of County Population by Year

This chart reveals the constant growth occurring throughout the province during the eighteen hundreds. In particular substantial growth is evident in counties with prominent ports, such as Saint John County, which experienced a significant increase in population over the course of these years. Note that in a few instances counties dropped in population or grew very little.  In most cases this is due to the sub-dividing of counties such as Carleton, Gloucester, Westmorland, and York.  Madawaska is not included in these figures because it was just divided from Victoria in 1873.
