A Chart created with datawrapper showing county population trends for Florida since the first census

This was created from census data through IPUMS NHGIS database search and the USDA population by county database.  You can see the stark contrast in the growth of two counties highlighted in the graph above, Miami-Dade (formerly Dade) and Leon Counties started as the smallest and largest populations in 1850 and reached the same population in 1910.  Since 1910 Miami-Dade county has grown much faster and has gone from the smallest in 1850 to the most populated county in 2019.  Kinda cool fact about population grown in Florida.
