State and Local Data Extended Back to 1890

Up to now usgovernmentspending.com has delivered federal spending and revenue data from 1792 to the present.  It has delivered state and local spending and revenue data from 1902 to the present.

On January 20, 2013 usgovernmentspending.com was updated with state and local data for 1890 thru 1901.  For 1890 the data is obtained from “Historical Statistics of the United States: 1789 - 1945.”  For 1891 thru 1901 the data is interpolated between the 1890 data and the 1902 data obtained from “Bicentennial Edition: Historical Statistics of the United States, Colonial Times to 1970.”
