Is it true that the US Census Bureau declared the American frontier closed in 1890, marking the end of the Wild West?

Yes. Two reference sources state that the U.S. Census Bureau declared in 1890 that the American frontier had disappeared or been closed, matching the claim's core assertion. A Census Bureau visualization page confirms the frontier concept and its 1890 endpoint but does not itself state the closing declaration.
