The Town & the City: Lowell before and after The Civil War

Originally created to be a digital archive for Lowell documents from 1826 to 1861, this website has grown to cover many periods and events in Lowell's history.

Lowell in the 1830 Census

The 1830 Census

 

The link below accesses a filtered search of the FamilySearch database of the 1830 census using the search criteria of "Lowell, MA" and "1830". The first 37 pages contain the records of Lowell residents in 1830 -

Please note - While the First and Last name search boxes can be helpful, there are also inaccuracies. For example, a search for "Kirk" "Boott" will not yield any results because of the way it is interpreted (also see this page on the site).
