In January 1836, soon before Arkansas became the twenty-fifth state in the Union, Arkansas’s last territorial governor, William Fulton signed this document certifying the recent 1835 census.

The document recorded that the territory was home to a population of 52,240, of which 9,838 were slaves and people of color.
