Abstract

The paper analyses the Austrian censuses in the area of the political council of Drniš in the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. These are the censuses of 1857, 1869, 1880, 1890, 1900 and 1910. The data are analysed according to the religious, language, ethnic, gender and age structure. The obtained results are also compared with the data of other districts in the Dalmatian hinterland. They indicate that the Drniš area during the investigated period was at the beginning of the process of demographic transition. It was found that at the end of the 19th and in the early 20th century a period of great emigration began, mainly overseas.
