1920 County Census Report

This is the 1920 census report for Clay County. It gives the comparison for 1900 and 1910 for each political subdivision.

I've heard persistent comments that the population of Sutton topped out at 2000 at some point in the past, usually given as about 1900. I'm guessing that that is a misrepresentation of someone at sometime taking the Sutton Township statistics and assigning them to the city of Sutton. The township includes the 36 square miles with the farms, almost all of the city of Sutton, and half of Saronville. That was a bit over 2000 during 1900 to 1920.
