Demographics

Hamburg appeared on the 1850 U.S. Census as an incorporated town. It had a population of 92. Of those 92, it had exactly 46 black and 46 white residents. 45 of the 46 black residents were slaves and just 1 was free. This was the only time Hamburg appeared on the census rolls, although it was mentioned on the 1870 census, but its population was not separately returned from its beat (or precinct).
