This article shows U.S. Census totals for Coos County, New Hampshire, broken down by municipality, from 1900 to 2000. Most areas of New England are entirely divided into incorporated municipalities, with no unincorporated areas. In the three northern New England states, however, some unincorporated territory does exist, generally in areas that are very sparsely populated. Coos County contains the bulk of New Hampshire’s unincorporated territory, although Grafton and Carroll counties also include smaller amounts. The unincorporated territory in Coos County consists of 23 distinct entities, covering about 560 square miles (approximately 30% of the county’s land area). Six are townships (essentially, areas that were drawn up as “future towns” in the 18th century, but never attained a large enough permanent population to formally incorporate as towns). The other seventeen are an assortment of grants, locations, and purchases (tracts of land, typically smaller than a town, which were not included in any town when town boundaries were being drawn up in the 18th and 19th centuries). Most of the unincorporated territory in Coos County is in the mountainous north central, northeastern and southeastern parts of the county. Almost all territory in the western, southwestern and south central parts of the county is incorporated. Due to the large extent of unorganized territory in Coos County, a separate section with detailed historical census totals for such areas follows the main tables below. Note that Wentworth's Location was incorporated as a town for many years, although it never dropped the word “location” from its name. In recent censuses, the population of the unorganized territory (including Wentworth's Location) has typically been between 100 and 200 residents. There are two types of incorporated municipalities in New Hampshire, towns and cities. The tables below differentiate between towns and cities. For any census, adding up the totals for each municipality and unincorporated entity should yield the county total. For more information on the New England municipal system, see New England town. ==Corporate changes since 1900== *1966 – Wentworth's Location (which, despite retaining the word “location” in its name, had been an incorporated town since the late 19th century) disincorporated and reverted to unorganized territory 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Historical United States Census totals for Coos County, New Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
