Population trajectory across census years
Aggregate population summed from constituent Census Subdivisions in this Census Division each year. Where the published 1851–1921 census volumes report a CD-level total, the figures should match within rounding; for cities split into wards, the per-CSD sum may diverge from the published CD aggregate.
| Year | Population | CSDs |
|---|---|---|
| 1891 | 25,277 | 3 |
