We ha'e com* a long way since then. \t that time 2.261 people were located in Adams county. The county <re* rapidly every year, reaching a growth climax in 1900. when there were 22.-3. peo pie In the county. For thirty yww the turn of the century . Adams county dropped in population. reaching ita low point in 1930 *hen there were only 19.957 people counted, fewer than the 20.181 figure of the 1890 census - • avcxtuiiu! inn h increased mod* Since then the county popuiau n n.. eatly. to 21.254 in 1940. and 22,393 in 1950. . Decatur, founded in 1836. incorj M,rate< a:S a t “" n l ’ l 1862. .nd u a city in 1882. h» a mure ..tead.v growth pattern, having developed from a town <>t l«»ut in (Monmouth was larger at the time) to a town of more than 200 in 1850. Most of the local growth has come since 1930. The establishment of the General Electric plant here in 1922, and the foundry about the same time, began the growth of the city. As G-E expanded, and with the founding of Central Soya here, the city grew steadily. The Second World War accelerated growth again, and by 19,0 Decatur had a population of 7.271. Decatur has been the second largest city in the fourth congressional district, second only to Fort Wayne, since that time. The city is presently estimated to contain some 8,500 residents. The census this year will remove . all doubt. And the census is very important to Decatur. The - ' number of inhabitants determines, for example, the amount of state funds received from the gasoline tax. This, in turn, pays in part for the city street department program. It also furnishes prospective manufacturers, or wholesalers, or builders, with significant information —about the eity. _ > i A number of Decatur merchants have suggested that some civic-minded group set up a booth on the court house square so that any one who is not visited by a census enumerator can call in or visit in • — person the booth, and be counted. It will be interesting to see if Decatur remains the j . second largest city in the district. Bluffton, New Haven, ** l * and several other cities have also developed and expanded in the past few years.
