A Look at Furman's Population
For a while, from 1890 to 1930, Furman was officially listed as an incorporated community. This means it had its own local government during those years.

- 1900: 184 people
- 1910: 125 people

After 1930, Furman stopped being an incorporated community. It either gave up its official city status or lost it. This is why it's now an unincorporated community.
