DESCRIPTION The Frontier Strip states Form A Nearly Straight Line from North to South and roughly correspond to the Great Plains region of the United States. The term ''Frontier Strip'' is probably correlated to the 1880 Census , where these six states, some of which were territories at the time, were part of the "Frontier Line," the geographic designation by the U.S. Census Bureau that proclaimed where the civilization of the Eastern United States ended and the historic American Wild West began. In the 1890 census, it stated, "Up to and including 1880 the country had a frontier of settlement, but at present the unsettled area has been so broken into by isolated bodies of settlement that there can hardly be said to be a frontier line. In the discussion of its extent, its westward movement, etc., it can not, therefore, any longer have a place in the census reports."http://www.census.gov/mso/www/bkgrnd.htm FRONTIER STRIP STATES NOTES |
