July 17, 1890: The Comet reported information about recent census findings regarding the growth of Johnson City. “Johnson City is no longer a village even in the minds of those who are so glad that they will not see.” “The census is completed, and four thousand, one hundred and sixty-nine people are now living where, ten years ago, only six hundred and eighty-five lived.” “It is indeed a wonderful growth, and the most conservative citizens were surprised at the figures, as they had claimed only about three thousand and five hundred. Properly speaking, the increase of Johnson City’s population in the last two years has been more than doubled and nearly trebled, as the census which was taken by the city in 1888 will show, when there were to be found within the corporate limits only sixteen hundred people.”
