The '''1900 United States census
▲The '''United States census of 1900''', conducted by the [[United States Census Bureau|Census Office]] on June 1, 1900,<ref>[https://www.census.gov/history/www/through_the_decades/overview/1900.html "1900 Overview"], History, US Census Bureau</ref> determined the resident [[population]] of the [[United States]] to be 76,212,168, an increase of 21.01% from the 62,979,766 persons [[Enumeration|enumerated]] during the [[1890 United States census|1890 census]].
The census saw the nation's largest city, [[New York City]], more than double in size due to the [[City of Greater New York|consolidation with Brooklyn]], becoming in the process the first U.S. city to record a population growth of over three million.
Oversight of the statistics was by Frederick Howard Wines and [[Walter Francis Willcox|Walter F. Willcox]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Mitchell |first=Wesley C. |date=1900 |title=Preparations for the Twelfth Census |url=https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/250680 |journal=Journal of Political Economy |language=en |volume=8 |issue=3 |pages=378–384 |doi=10.1086/250680 |issn=0022-3808}}</ref>
