Abstract: America was on the move. The US Census has calculated the mean center of the US since 1790, and I Fig. 6.1 displays the trajectory of these means from 1790 to 2010. Of course, our main concern in this chapter is the Era 1950 to 1980. Nevertheless, note the movement West and Southwest. In 1950, the mean center of the US were in Richland County, Illinois and Clay County, Illinois. In 1960, Illinois continued to hold the mean center in Clinton, County Illinois. In 1970, St. Clair County, Illinois held the distinction of being the mean center of the US. In 1980, the mean center left Illinois and was located in Jefferson, County, and Missouri. America continued its movement west.
