History

INEC was first called Oficina Central de Estadística about its foundation in 1861. Later, in 1951, it was called Dirección General de Estadística y Censos, until 1998, when INEC was its legal name. INEC ran its first census in 1864. In 2000, the institute carried out the 9th population and the 5th dwellings census, and a tenth census was held in June 2011.[3]
