These figures exhibit in a striking manner the fact that,
twenty-five years ago, the county reached a position when its population
manifested a decided tendency to remain stationary. This has been the case
with all the older agricultural counties of Ohio. While there has been in
Ohio a marked increase of population from its first settlement, in recent
years the increase has been confined to those counties in which there were
either unoccupied lands, mining and manufacturing interests, or cities.
As long as the county could offer immigrants a large tract of unoccupied
territory, it grew in population with marvelous rapidity, but the ratio
of increase became less with each decade until 1870. The slight decrease between 1860 and 1870 is doubtless due to the effects of the great civil war. The influx of population to the cities is one of the most important and striking features of the progress of population in modern times. The rapid increase of population in three counties adjoining Warren is due to the growth of the three cities, Cincinnati, Dayton and Hamilton. Gen. James A. Garfield, in a letter published in the Ohio Statistical Report of 1871, pointed out the fact that by far the largest item of increase in population in Ohio is found in the growth of eleven of the largest cities, and that, subtracting the growth of these cities, the population of the eleven counties in which they were situated had remained nearly stationary. In one-third of the older counties, the population had for ten years remained nearly stationary, and in several counties there had been a positive decrease. "All the merely agricultural districts," said Gen. Garfield, " are suffering a constant drain of population to supply the growth of cities and towns." Warren County, however, made some increase between 1870 and 1880. What effect on the increase of population the development of manufacturing interests at Franklin and the opening up of railroad communication with the county seat may have, time alone can determine. POPULATION IN 1880, BY TOWNSHIPS, VILLAGES AND HAMLETS. [Names of villages are indented and placed under the townships in which
they are respectively situated, and the population of the township includes,
in every case, that of all villages within it.
