1880–2020
The published decennial series opens in 1880; no separate returns for the town appear in the table for 1850–1870. The line, as tabulated from the census volumes: 1880, 530 · 1890, 607 · 1900, 597 · 1910, 612 · 1920, 609 · 1930, 718 · 1940, 747 · 1950, 983 · 1960, 1,376 · 1970, 1,434 · 1980, 1,439 · 1990, 1,446 · 2000, 1,505 · 2010, 1,861 · 2020, 1,891. The shape is the town's biography in numbers: a plateau near six hundred across the stage-road, railroad, and interurban eras alike; a slow rise through the automobile decades; a near-doubling between 1940 and 1960; a second plateau in the 1,400s from 1970 to 2000; and a jump of nearly a quarter in 2010, to 1,861, holding at 1,891 in 2020. Whether the 2010 step carries a boundary change inside it is not asserted here — the town's annexation record was not dug and stands in the government section as a named gap with its settler.
