The 1890 census found the center of population in Indiana where it was to remain for six decennial censuses. The 1890 location was near Westport, 20 miles east of Columbus. A granite boulder on the Columbus -- Versailles highway marks the location. In 1910, the center reached Bloomington, Ind. , and by 1920, it had shifted the 10 miles noted above, to a point on a beech -covered hillside near Whitehall in the western suburbs of Bloomington. The year 1930 found the center located three miles northeast of Linton, Ind. , and in 1940, for the last stop in Indiana, the center was 2 miles southeast of Carlisle, in Sullivan County. During World War II, the center crossed the Wabash River, marking the Indiana -- Illinois boundary. The north -- south movement has been slight. During the 18 decades, the point farthest north was the 1790 location, and the point farthest south, the I960 location, a difference of about 47 miles or 2. 6 miles per decade.
