Agriculture has guided Pennsylvania's economic growth and cultural development and has profoundly shaped the lands and people of the Commonwealth. The 1850 Federal Decennial Census was the first time in history that data was collected on agricultural production at a national scale. The census manuscripts for Pennsylvania were digitized by PHMC from the original documents in the collections of the National Archives and Records Administration.
This dataset includes agricultural production data compiled from Schedule 4 - Productions of Agriculture of the 1850 census and aggregated at the county and municipality level.
The visualization combines a timeless practice with the latest advancements in technology. The interactive map of Pennsylvania depicting the value of farms and amounts of livestock provides users with a glimpse into agricultural life in 1850.

The official FCC broadband definition is a minimum of 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload.
Cable/fiber internet connection is used to define access to broadband, since these are the most commonly used and currently best two types of internet for a fast connection. Other technologies are less preferable due to slowness, instability, data caps, and latency.

What is Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by County?
GDP is a comprehensive measure of the economies of counties. Gross domestic product estimates the value of the goods and services produced in an area. It can be used to compare the size and growth of county economies across the state.

This dataset is not not adjusted for inflation and represents the value of the goods and services in dollars at the time of the estimate. If you are looking to evaluate the growth of county economies over time, use of the Real GDP which is adjusted for inflation would eliminate changes in GDP caused by increases or decreases in the value of the US dollar. More information about the BEA's GDP by County is available here: GDP by County, Metro and Other Areas.
