Census Acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population

A census is the procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given population. The term is used mostly in connection with national population and housing censuses; other common censuses include agriculture, business, and traffic censuses. The United Nations defines the essential features of population and housing censuses as "individual enumeration, universality within a defined territory, simultaneity and defined periodicity", and recommends that population censuses be taken at least every 10 years. United Nations recommendations also cover census topics to be collected, official definitions, classifications and other useful information to co-ordinate international practice.

Timbúes started as an agricultural colony in lands purchased by Camilo Aldao and former provincial governor José María Cullen, in 1868. Its name was Colonia Jesús María. The settlement was officially acknowledged on 15 July 1871, and the first local authorities were elected on 2 September 1874. In 1892, the Ferrocarril General Manuel Belgrano railway reached the colony, and the station received the name of Timbúes, which in time became the name of the town itself in popular use, though it was officially changed only in 1974. The Timbúes were an indigenous tribe that formerly populated the area.
