Residents by Race

The 1910 census sheets reveal racial categories of Negro, White, or Mulatto. The 1910 census marks the first time the Mulatto category, used to signify a mixture of two or more races, appeared in the census.  Of the 139 residents living on the four blocks at the intersection of Belmont and DeVilliers Streets, census workers counted 95 Negro, 35 White,  and 9 Mulatto residents.  The chart indicates a still-diverse population with nearly three-quarters listed as Negro.  However, the count reveals a slight drop in the number of a white residents compared with the 1900 census.  This census concludes the decade in which Pensacola’s City Council passed Pensacola’s first Jim Crow laws, which imposed segregation upon its citizens.
