Even at this late date some counties are functioning which have never actually met the qualifications necessary for iii 917. 3 Preface The need for a book about the origin of county names is apparent to those who have had to wade through hundreds of obscure references in annuals, manuals, blue books, state guides, histories and encyclopedias to obtain needed informa- tion. In most instances, it is impossible to find data about one state in a single satisfactory source. This book is divided into two section. The first contains an introductory chapter followed by a brief description of the or- igin of the names of the 3, 067 counties arranged alphabetical- ly. The second section alphabetically lists the counties in each state, the county seat, the date when the county was created and its statute number; also a chronological list showing the dates when the various counties were formed and the act or chapter numbers; a list of the counties whose names have been changed from their original names; a list of the county seats and the names of persons for whom the counties have been named. A study of generally accepted dates reveals many discrep- , ancies. In addition to typographical and natural human errors 'as a result of annual transcription - and they are plentiful - there are many others due to misconceptions in terminology. Dates often listed as referring to the same event refer to similar but actually different happenings. Research reveals that little, if any, distinction has been made in the various compilations between (1) the date the statute creating a coun- ty was passed by the legislature (2) the date when it was approved by the governor or by a popular election or refer- endum or (3) the date when the act took effect. Further- more, some books list the dates when the county complied with all legal requirements for its organization, and some ;the particular date specified for the coming into being of the e county. Even at this late date some counties are functioning which have never actually met the qualifications necessary for iii organization, and as a consequence they are under the juris- diction of other counties for judicial purposes. Some counties, whose names have been changed, are listed according to the date when the original county was created, while others are listed by the date when the change of name was made or became effective. Original legislation was often inexact and controversial with respect to county boundaries and new acts were accord- ingly passed clarifying them. As a result, some sources give the date of the legislation and others give the dates of the amending legislation. Still others may give the dates when areas were taken away from or added to the county. In an endeavor to clarify this confusing condition, I have personally checked the session laws of the forty-eight state legislatures, governors' proclamations and the existent colo- nial legislation. The dates used are either of the enactment of the statutes providing for the creation or those when the county was actually created or organized by gubernatorial proclamations. For the benefit of those who are interested in further information, the alphabetical section of the book not only gives the date of the creation, but also the dates when the acts became effective or when organization took place. To facilitate research work the number of each act or chapter is given, if such a number exists. To the inexperi- enced this may not seem important but since many of the early session laws did not contain an index, this will obvi- ate a page -by-page check. Some of the session laws con- tain a table of contents and record acts according to the date when they were enacted or according to their position in the book. In many session laws, the laws were published with- out any scheme or reason without regard to order of any kind. Some states list acts chronologically while others group together similar types of legislation and still others indulge in entirely haphazard arrangements. Even when there is an index one may have difficulty in finding information under present standard headings. Coun- ties are not listed under "counties" or under the specific county names but under specific headings such as "new counties" "boundaries" etc. In some cases the index con- iv tains no reference whatsoever to new counties. If a county was created by separation from another, the only certain way of finding the date of its creation is to know the county from which it was formed and then look for a statute such as "an act for the division of Montgomery County." In some instances a county is created by a "rider" to another irrelevant legislation. Consequently, it is often necessary to read all the laws around a certain period when it is believed the county was created to ascertain the correct date. In many instances, the system of numbering acts or chap- ters was not always carried out for the entire legislative session. Where numbers exist, it should not be presumed that the act with the lowest number was passed earliest. The numbers may refer to the position of the act in the ses- sion laws, not to the sequence of its passage. Some states separate general laws from private laws or special laws, and may assign the same number to both a general law and a special law. The numbers are frequently not consecutive and it is necessary to know whether the legislation was through a public or general law or a private or special law. States have often changed their classifications of entries from time-to-time. As there is no standard procedure, patience and perseverance are sometimes greater virtues than knowl- edge and experience. Even if one knows the title of an act, the date when it was passed or its chapter number, whether the act was a general or special one, the desired information may still be difficult to obtain. Legislative sessions do not always begin on the first day of the year and they often carry over from year to year. Thus, it is frequently necessary to consult several years. For example, legislation enacted on May 15, 1815 may be found in the laws of 1814-1815, or the laws of 1815, or the laws o: 1815-16 as the case may be. To fur- ther complicate matters, the date on the spine or cover of the book often bears no true relationship to its actual content. A volume marked "1814" for example may contain the laws of 1813, 1814 or 1815 and in subsequent volumes the method of titling may be changed. The exact date of the passage of much of the legislation in colonial days is not given and the only date which can be found is when the legislative assembly met or adjourned. In some instances, legislation although earlier passed did not become effective until the conclusion of the session when all the laws were finally approved. In other cases, colonial laws did not become effective until they were signed by the king. The dates given in local and state histories have general- ly been inaccurate and no reliance has been placed upon them. Dates have been checked with prime sources but even here one notices typographical or orthographical errors. In many instances in the same law, the name of the county is variously spelled. Errors in name have sometimes been changed by later legislation but generally correction has been made by usage, common acceptance, geographic boards or nomenclature groups. Where this situation exists, the pre- sent generally accepted spelling is used. Very few laws specifically mention the derivation of the county name or refer to the person whom the county is in- tended to honor. Many counties were formed before the state of which they are now a part. County records were not always carefully kept and many deteriorated through age- ing or were destroyed by fire and flood, therefore some re- liance in this respect has necessarily been placed in the nomenclature section on secondary sources such as state histories, county histories, biographies, etc. The population figures used are based upon the most re- cent federal census, 1950, compiled by the Bureau of the Census, United States Department of Commerce. The area figures are generally correct despite the fact that authorities disagree frequently. Unfortunately, it is not possible to thank individually the hundreds of county clerks, secretaries of state, historical societies and libraries that have been of much help in this compilation. I would be remiss, however, if I did not single out the New York Public Library, the law library of Columbia University and the Library of Congress for the privilege of examining their extensive collections of state and colonial laws. The author hopes that this book is free from error. As reference is made to 3, 067 countries and the subject matter is highly controversial, a few errors may have crept in. If any of the facts contained herein are provably in er- ror, the author will appreciate being apprised of them so that corrections may be made in future editions. VI Contents Preface iii Abbreviations 8 Chapter one 9 Counties, alphabetical listing 33 Counties, state listing 285 Counties, chronological listing 366 Counties, names changed 440 County seats 447 Counties, named for individuals 483 vii Counties: Alphabetical As the same format applies to the 3, 067 counties, the following explanation may prove helpful. Each entry adheres to the same format as follows: (1) The name of the county (2) The state in which it is located (3) The date when the county was created (a) the date when the act became effective (b) the date when the county was organized (c) the date when the organization became effective (4) The area of the county (5) The population of the county (6) The county seat (7) The origin of the county name. An asterisk refers to the entry preceding where fuller data is given. (8) An arbitrary numeral referring to the county's position in the alphabetical listing used in this book. As some counties cannot determine the actual origin of their names, alternate claims are listed without prejudice to their accuracy. As the date of early colonial legislation was not reckoned by dates, but by the session, the dates of the first meeting of the session is given as the date of the enactment of the legislation. Obviously, the law was actually passed at a later date. To conserve space, abbreviation have been liberally em- ployed. Those generally used follow: chap. chapter (or act) procl. proclamation const. constitution res resolve (or resolution) p & e petition and election unnumb. unnumbered (Most counties can be designated by an act or statute num- ber, but some counties lack these numbers because they were omitted for many years) . vm Chapter I Much confusion exists about the derivation of the names of counties. There are seventeen counties named Lincoln. The supposition is that they were named for President Lincoln. But as some of these counties were named before Abraham Lincoln was born, even the most patriotic, when confronted with the evidence, are obliged to admit that perhaps another Lincoln was intended. The Lincoln for whom many of these counties were named was Benjamin Lincoln, a major general in the Continental Army who was distinguished for his brav- ery. Twenty-three counties were named Franklin to honor Ben- jamin Franklin, but Franklin County in Idaho is named for Franklin R. Richards while Franklin County in Texas is named for Benjamin Cromwell Franklin. It is fallacious to assume that a county was named for the most famous bearer of a name. Logan County, Ark. , for example, was named for James Logan; Logan counties in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and Oklahoma were named for John Alexander Logan. Logan, 111. , was named for Dr. John Logan, while Logan, W. Va. , was named for John Logan, an Indian. Of the 3, 067 counties, 2, 138 have been named for indi- viduals. This figure includes the 203 counties named for 25 Presidents. The President for whom the greatest number of counties was named was George Washington who leads the list with 31, followed by Thomas Jefferson with 26. Jackson has 21 counties named for him, excluding Hickory County, Mo., which pertetuates his nickname "Old Hickory." There are 20 counties named for Madison, 17 for Monroe, 17 for Lincoln, 12 for Grant and 11 for Polk. Other Presidents for whom counties have been named are John Adams 8; Garfield 6; Van Buren, William Henry Har- rison, Taylor and Pierce, 4 each; Fillmore and Buchanan, 3 each; John Quincy Adams, Cleveland and Theodore Roose- 9 velt, 2 each; Tyler, Hayes, Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, McKinley and Harding, 1 each. Only one President had both his first and last name used as the name of a county. Millard Fillmore had Millard County named for him in Utah as well as Fillmore County in Minnesota and Nebraska. Eight Presidents did not have counties named for them; Johnson, Taft, Wilson, Coolidge, Hoover, F. D. Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower. Nebraska with an even dozen leads with the greatest num- ber of counties named for Presidents. Other high-ranking states are Iowa 11, Arkansas 10, Mississippi 8 and Wiscon- sin 8. Eight states, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma and Tennessee contain 7 such counties. Five states, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, Texas and Washington contain 6 counties; seven states, Alabama, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, New Mexico and West Virginia contain 5 counties; three states, Montana, New York, and Pennsylvania contain 4; four states, Michigan, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia contain 3; South Dakota contains 2 counties; seven states, Maine, Maryland, Nevada, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wyoming contain 1 such county each. Hickory, Mo. , since it is not direct ly named is not in- cluded in the above statistics. Eight states: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey and South Caro- lina, have not named any counties for the Presidents. There were 243 men, who served as governors of colonies, territories and states, for whom 431 counties were named. The state with the greatest number of counties named for governors is Georgia with 40, followed by Kentucky 24, Tennessee 22, Missouri 21, Texas 20, Illinois and Iowa 18, Indiana and West Virginia 17, Arkansas, Mississippi and Ne- braska 16, Ohio 13, Alabama, Kansas and Virginia 12. Other states had fewer. The states with the greatest number of counties named for their own governors are Georgia 29, Kentucky 14, Virginia 10, Mississippi, Nebraska and Texas 9, Arkansas, North 10 Carolina and Tennessee 8. The state which honored the greatest number of governors of other states is West Virginia with 17 counties. West Virginia was once a part of Virginia and so honored gover- nors of Virginia. Iowa follows with 16, Illinois, Missouri and Tennessee 14; Indiana 13; Georgia and Texas 11; Ken- tucky and Ohio 10; Alabama and Kansas 9. The governor who had the greatest number of counties named for him was Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania for whom twenty-three counties were named. The next most honored governor was Patrick Henry of Virginia for whom ten counties were named: nine named Henry and one named Patrick. Excluding those Presidents of the United States who served also as governors, the governors for whom the great- est number of counties were named were Isaac Shelby of Kentucky, 9; Lewis Cass of Michigan, 8; De Witt Clinton of New York, 8; Meriwether Lewis of Louisiana 6; John Floyd of Virginia, 4; John Sullivan of New Hampshire, 4. All of the states except Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Nevada and Rhode Island have honored governors. Maryland, New Hampshire and South Carolina honored their own governors but did not honor governors of other states. Maine, Massachusetts and West Virginia did not honor their own governors but named counties for governors of other states. Oklahoma honored its governor William Henry "Alfalfa" Murray by naming two counties for him, Murray and Alfalfa. A breakdown of the 243 men who were governors shows that 30 governors who had 59 counties named for them had served also in the capacity of both United States Senator and Representative. In this list are included four counties named for William Henry Harrison, twenty-one named for Andrew Jackson and one named for John Tyler, all of whom were also Presidents of the United States. There were 37 governors, for whom 80 counties are named, who served also in the United States Senate but not in the House of Representatives. Included in this group are 17 counties named for James Monroe and four counties named for Martin Van Buren, who served also as presidents. 11 There were 141 other governors for whom 243 counties were named. In this figure are included the 30 counties named for Thomas Jefferson, Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt. There are 574 counties named for the 288 men who served in the U.S. Congress. Of these, there were 175 counties named for 66 men who served as both Senator and Representative including the 30 listed in the governor group who served as senator, gover- nor, and representative for whom 59 counties are named. There are 218 counties named for the 128 men who served as Representatives (including the 35 listed in the governor group who served as governor and representative for whom 49 counties are named) „ There are 181 counties named for the 93 men who served as senators including the 37 senators listed in the governor group who served as governor and senator, for whom 80 counties are named. There are 2, 138 counties named for individuals. Excluding Presidents and governors, the persons for whom the greatest number of counties were named are Francis Marion, Nathanael Greene and the Marquis de Lafayette. Seventeen counties were named for each of them, with some deviations. Fourteen counties are named Greene County, two are named Green County without the final letter "e" and one is named Greensville; eleven counties are named Fayette County and six counties are named Lafayette County. Others for whom more than a dozen counties have been named are Richard Montgomery 16; Henry Clay and Anthony Wayne 15; Joseph Warren 14; Charles Carroll and Stephen Arnold Douglas 12 each. Eleven counties are named for John Clay Calhoun, and ten counties each have been named for John Hancock, James Lawrence, Oliver Hazard Perry and Zebulon Pike. Nine have each been named for Henry Knox, Daniel Morgan, and Israel Putnam. Eight each bear the names of Thomas Hart Benton, 12 Alexander Hamilton, William Jasper, Robert Edwin Lee, John Marshall and Daniel Webster. Those for whom seven counties have been named are Dan- iel Boone, Robert Fulton and Casimir Pulaski. Six counties have been named for each of the following: George Rogers Clark, George A. Custer, Johann De Kalb, Benjamin Lincoln, Meriwether Lewis, Nathanael Macon and Hugh Mercer, Many counties have been named for an individual and im- mediate members of his family. For example, some of the counties named for King George II and his family are: A- melia, Augusta, Caroline, Frederick, Louisa, Lunenberg, Grange, Prince Edward, Prince William. Some of the many counties named for the Calvert family are: Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Calvert, Caroline, Cecil, Charles, Harford, and Talbot, The family in counties with the greatest span of years is the Harrison family. The progenitor of the fam- ily is Benjamin Harrison (1726-1791) for whom Harrison County, West Virginia was named. His son, William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States, was hon- ored by counties in Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi and Ohio. His great grandson, the grandson of William Henry Harrison, is immortalized by Harrison County, Kentucky, named for Benjamin Harrison, the twenty-third President of the United States. Many fathers and sons have been honored by having coun- ties named for them, the most prominent being the Adams family. Adams County in Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Nebras- ka, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin have been named for John Adams, the second President of the United States, while the counties in Illinois, Indiana and North Da- kota were named for his son, John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States, Dodge County in Minnesota and Wisconsin is named for Henry Dodge while Dodge County, Nebraska is named for his son, Augustus Caesar Dodge. Robertson County, Tenn, , is named for James Robertson while Robertson County, Ken- tucky is named for his son, George Robertson. Tazewell, Va. , is named for Henry Tazewell while Tazewell County, 111. , is named for his son, Littleton Waller Tazewell. 13 Many counties have been named for brothers, and in sev- eral instances individual brothers have had individual coun- ties named for them. Some counties with different names may trace the origin of their names to the same person. For example, King James II was the person honored by James City County, Va. In like manner, he was honored when New York and Wyo- ming used Albany, one of his titles, as the name of a coun- ty. He was similarly honored by Maine, Nebraska, Penn- sylvania, South Carolina and Virginia when York, another of his titles was used. New York, N. Y. was also named for him, and Massachusetts named Dukes County to honor him. In some instances, counties have been named for both a person's first and last names, such as Charles Mix County, S. D. ; Kit Carson County, Colo. ; Roger Mills County, Okla. ; Ben Hill County, Ga. , and Jo Daviess County, 111. This practice is most prevalent in Texas where counties have been named for Jim Wells, Jim Hogg, Tom Green, Deaf Smith and Jeff Davis. There is a Jeff Davis County in Georgia and a Jefferson Davis County in both Louisiana and Mississip- pi. American history is indelibly written in the names of coun- ties. Sixteen counties have been named for signers of the Declaration of Independence, six of whom came from Virginia. They were Carter Braxton, Benjamin Harrison, Thomas Jef- ferson, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Nelson, Jr. , and George Wythe. The three signers from Georgia were Button Gwin- nett, Lyman Hall and George Walton. The two signers from Pennsylvania, Benjamin Franklin and Benjamin Rush, also had counties named for them. Other signers and the colo- nies they represented were Samuel Huntington of Connecti- cut, Thomas MKean of Delaware, Charles Carrol of Maryland, Lewis Morris of New York and John Adams of Massachusetts Bay. Nine vice presidents of the United States have had twenty- eight counties named for them, the most favored one being John Caldwell Calhoun for whom eleven counties were named. Counties are named for Calhoun in Ala. , Ark. , Fla. , Ga. , 111., Iowa, Mich., Miss., S.C., Texas and W.Va. Richard Mentor Johnson had five counties named for him: in 111. , Iowa, Ky. , Mo. , and Neb. Counties in Ark. , Iowa, Mo. , and Texas have been named for George Mifflin Dallas. 14 Counties have been named for George Clinton in N. Y. and Ohio; for Schuyler Colfax in Neb. and N. M. States having one county named for vice presidents are N. Y. (Daniel D. Tompkins) ; S. D. (Hannibal Hamlin) and Wash. (William R. King.) County names have honored also many distinguished for- eigners: Lafayette, Simon Bolivar, Edmund Burke, Thaddeus Kosciusko, Louis Kossuth, Friedrich von Humboldt, Baron von Steuben, Joseph Addison, Isaac Newton, Giacomo Bel- trami, Robert Emmet, Arthur Onslow, etc. Texas remembered the slogan ' 'Remember the Alamo" when it named its counties. Twelve heroic defenders who lost their lives on March 6, 1836 were honored by having counties named for them. The counties named for them were Bailey, Bowie, Cochran, Cottle, Crockett, Dickens, Floyd, Kent, Kimble, King, Lynn and Travis. Crockett, Tenn. , was also named for one of these Alamo defenders. Many counties have derived their names from descriptive words; 225 counties have been named for 138 descriptive words. The most commonly used word is ' 'union" which is used 18 times by Ark., Fla. , Ga. , 111., Ind. , Iowa, Ky. , La., Miss., N.J. , N. M. , N. C. , Ohio, Ore., Pa., S.C., S.D. , and Tenn. The next most popular word is "lake" used 12 times for counties in Calif. , Colo. , Fla. , 111. , Ind. , Mich. , Minn., Mont., Ohio, Ore., S. D. , and Tenn. Richland has been used five times (La. , Mont. , Ohio, S. C. , and Wis. ) and so has Saline (Ark. , 111. , Kan. , Mo. , and Neb. ) The words carbon, iron, liberty and mineral have each been used four times. Counties named "Carbon" are in Mont. , Pa. , Utah and Wyo. ; Iron in Mich. , Mo. , Utah and Wis. ; Liberty in Fla. , Ga. , Mont, and Tex. and Mineral in Colo. , Mont. , Nev. and W. Va. Each of the following descriptive words has been used three times as county names: Beaver, Buffalo, Cedar, Delta, Fairfield, Orange, Park, Rock, Summit and Valley. Two counties have been named for each of the following words: Bath, Bay, Big Horn, Butte, Clearwater, Elk, Forest, Golden Valley, Grand, Highland, Limestone, Midland, Port- age, Prairie, Red River, Trinity and Vermilion. 15 Montana leads with descriptive county names having 27 counties, followed by Minnesota with 13, Florida 12; Idaho and Texas with 11 each, Nebraska 10, Colorado 9, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin 8 each; Arkansas, Louisiana, Michigan, South Carolina and Utah 7 each; and Wyoming 6. States having five counties named for descriptive words are California, Illinois, Kentucky and South Dakota; Georgia and North Dakota 4 each; Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Okla- homa and Virginia 3 each; Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Ne- vada, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee and West Virginia 2 each; Alabama, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Vermont and Washington 1 each. French words account for the names of 43 counties lo- cated in 22 states. The only French word used more than once as the name of a county is Platte, used by Mo. , Neb. , and Wyo. The state having the largest number of counties named for French words is Louisiana which has seven parishes with the following names: East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, La- fource, Pointe Coupee, Rapides, Sabine and Terrebonne. Wisconsin has the next largest number of counties with French names. Its five French-named counties are Eau Clair, Fond du lac, La Crosse, Racine and Trempealeau. There are four counties with French names in Minnesota: Lac Qui Parle, Mille Lacs, Roseau and Traverse; and four counties in Missouri; Maniteau, Maries, Ozark and Platte. The three French-named counties in Nebraska are Box Butte, Loup and Platte. Ohio has two counties with French names; Belmont and Champaign; California has Butte and Siskiyou, and Oregon has Deschutes and Malheur. Other French words used as the names of counties are: Amite, Boise, Bon Homme, Cache, Chicot, Clarion, Des Moines, La Porte, Lamoille, Labette, Pend Oreille, Platte, Presque Isle and Washita. Spanish has a prominent place in county names. There are 69 counties whose names have been derived from 65 Spanish words. Most of these counties are located in Cali- fornia and Texas. 16 Spanish words used by more than one county are Sierra (Calif, and N. M. ) , El Paso (Colo, and Texas), Escambia (Ala. and Fla. ) , and Santa Cruz (Calif, and Ariz. ) In California, we find 18 counties with the following Span- ish names* Alameda, Calaveras, Contra Costa, Del Norte, El Dorado, Fresno, Los Angeles, Madera, Mariposa, Mer- ced, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Si- erra, Ventura and Yuba. Texas has 23 counties named for Spanish words as fol- lows: Angelina, Atascosa, Bandera, Blanco, Bosque, Braz- oria, Brazos, Colorado, Comal, Concho, El Paso, Frio, Lampasas, Lavaca, Llano, Matagorda, Nueces, Palo Pinto, Presidio, Refugio, Sabine, San Saba and Val Verde. In Colorado, counties with Spanish names are: Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, Dolores, El Paso, Huerfamo, La Plata, Las Animos, Mesa, Pueblo, Rio Blanco and Rio Grande. There are sixteen other counties in seven states named for Spanish words. There are 161 counties whose names have been derived from Indian words such as Alachua, Alamance, Allegan, An- oka, Appomattox, Aroostock, Ashtabula, Asotin, Auglaize, Autauga, etc. Michigan, with 20 counties named for Indian words leads the states, followed by New York with 12, and Mississippi and Ohio with 11. Minnesota and Wisconsin have 10 counties each named for Indian words. The other states with Indian-named counties follow: Wash. 8; Ala. , Fla. and Pa. , 6 each; Me. and Okla. , 5 each; Ga. , and Va. , 4 each; Calif., Idaho, 111., Ind. , and Mo., 3 each; Ariz., N. C. , S. C. , Tenn. , Utah and W.Va. , 2 each. The states with only one county with an Indian name are: Ark. , Colo. , Kans. , Ky. , La. , Md. , Mass. , Mont. , Neb. , Nev. , N.H. , N.J. , N. D. , Ore., S. Do and Texas. Sixty-one Indians have had their names immortalized by counties. There may also be other counties named for per- sons with Anglicized names who have Indian ancestry. The spelling of their names occasionally differs from that often 17 found in histories and biographies. Among the Indian names are the names of seven Indian women whose names designate counties in eight states. They are Attala (Miss. ) , Leelanau (Mich. ) , Marinette (Wis. ) , Sonoma (Calif. ) , Tippah (Miss. ) , Winona (Minn. ) , and Poca- hontas, whose name has been used by Iowa and W. Va. The only Indian, besides Pocahontas, whose name is used more than once is Osceola for whom counties are named in Fla. , Iowa and Mich. The greatest use of Indian names is made by Oklahoma and Iowa. The fourteen Indian-named Oklahoma counties are Adair, Atoka, Carter, Craig, Garvin, Johnston, Le Flore, Love, Mc Curtain, Mc Intosh, Mayes, Pontotoc, Pushmataha and Sequoyah; the ten counties in Iowa are Appanoose, Black Hawk, Keokuk, Mahaska, Osceola, Pocahontas, Poweshiek, Tama, Wapello and Winneshiek. Six counties in Michigan bear Indian names: Leelanau, Mecosta, Missaukee, Newaygo, Osceola and Sanilac. There are also six counties in Mississippi with Indian names: At- tala, Itawamba, Leflore, Pontotoc, Tippah and Tishomingo. California has four Indian -named counties: Marin, Solano, Sonoma and Stanislaus. Six states have two Indian-named counties and eleven others have one county each. In addition to naming counties for Indians and Indian words, 41 states have named 181 counties for Indian tribes. All states have honored an Indian tribe by naming a county for them except Delaware, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Tennessee and Vermont. Both Kansas and Oklahoma have 13 counties named for In- dian tribes: North Carolina and Oregon have 9; Iowa, New York, Ohio and Wisconsin have 8; Arizona, California, Louisiana and Washington have seven counties each. The most favored Indian tribe is the Cherokee for whom eight counties have been named. The Delaware and the Ot- tawa tribes have each had four counties named for them. Sixteen tribes have had three counties named for them; fif- teen tribes have had two counties named for them. 18 Another source for the name of counties is words es- pecially coined. In this group there are 28 counties in 18 states. The state which leads in creating names for counties is Michigan which named counties: Alcona, Alpena, Arenac, Benzie, Hillsdale, Oceana, Oscoda and Tuscola. Eight states have named counties Columbia. They are Arko, Fla. , Ga. , N. Y. , Ore., Pa., Wash D and Wis. Ar- kansas adapted the word from Columbia, the goddess of Lib- erty; Washington from the "Columbia" the first ship to carry the flag of the United States around the world, while the oth- ers named their counties Columbia in honor of Columbus. Other created names for counties are Columbiana, Ohio; Glades, Fla. ; Itasca, Minn. ; Kay, Okla. ; Lonoke, Ark. ; Owyhee, Idaho; Pittsylvania, Va. ; Pondera, Mont. ; and Transylvania, Va. Eureka, Nev. , is derived from the Greek, Salem, N. J. , from the Hebrew and Schuylkill, Pa. , from the Dutch. Another source of names for counties is those persons who have been designated saints. There are 41 counties named for 33 saints. Their names are preceded by the proper forms such as St. , Ste. , San and Santa. The most popular name is San Juan for whom four coun- ties have been named, and St. Charles, St. Francis, St. Jo- seph, St. Louis and San Miguel for whom two counties have been named. The states having the most number of counties named for saints are California 9, Louisiana 9, Missouri 4, Florida 3, Texas 3, Colorado 2, New Mexico 2, and 1 each for Arkan- sas, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. There are 45 counties named for women in 24 states. A- mong the women so honored are 7 Indian women and 4 women who have been sainted. The only woman whose name has been used for more than one county is Pocahontas for whom counties have been named in Iowa and West Virginia. Two counties were named Mecklen- burg (in No. Car. and Va. ) for Charlotte Sophia, Princess 19 of Mecklenburg; and two counties named Guadalupe for our Lady of Guadalupec Two counties were named Caroline, each for a different person, and two counties were similarly named Florence. The state most partial to the names of women for coun- ties is Virginia which has nine counties named for women as follows: Amelia, Augusta, Caroline, Charlotte, Elizabeth City, Fluvanna, Louisa, Mecklenburg and Princess Anne. Five counties in Maryland have also been named for wom- en: Anne Arundel, Caroline, Queen Anne's, Somerset and Talboto Pennsylvania named three counties for women: Huntingdon, Luzerne and Montour. North Carolina also has named three counties for women: Dare, Mecklenburg and Wake, as did Iowa; Bremer, Louisa and Monona. Idaho, New Mexico, New York and Texas named two coun- ties for women, while fourteen other states named one coun- ty. Another source of county names is geography. There are 219 counties named for geographical locations. Since many mountains, valleys, rivers and creeks bear the same name, it is not always possible to determine whether the county was named for the river, the mountain, the valley or all of them. It is not always possible to determine whether the counties have been named for certain areas or for the people who ruled them or those for whom the areas were named. For ex- ample, eight counties bear the name Cumberland. Disregard- ing whether these counties were named for the river, town, city, village, etc, one may claim that the counties named Cumberland were named for Cumberland, England. At the same time, it may be claimed that the counties were named for William Augustus, the Duke of Cumberland, while others may insist they were named for subsequent dukes» In similar vein, there is an Essex County in Massachu- setts, New Jersey, New York, Vermont and Virginia. One may contend that these counties were named for Robert Dev- ereux, the Earl of Essex, but some may maintain that the counties were named for Essex, England, which area was ruled by Robert Devereux while he was Earl. Only rarely is the distinction made between the site and the ruler as in the case of Norborne Berkeley, the Baron of 20 Botetourt. The county of Berkeley, W. Va. , is named for him, and the county of Botetourt, Va. , is named for the site. In this book, where the name of a county is the same as that of an individual or a geographical location, the source will be considered as originating with the former. Quite frequently counties having different names to honor the same person. The most conspicuous example of this is Fay- ette County (11 counties) and Lafayette County (6 counties), both of whom are named for Lafayette. Nine counties are named Henry for Patrick Henry and one county is named Patrick for him. Two counties are named Dodge for Henry Dodge, and one county is named Henry in his honor Three counties are named De Soto for Hernando de Soto and one county is named Hernando. Eight (?) counties are named Clinton for De Witt Clinton and one county is named De Witt. Two counties are named Fillmore and one county named Millard to honor President Millard Fillmore. Joseph Hamilton Daviess is honored by three counties named Daviess, and one named Jo Daviess; Jefferson Davis was honored by two counties named Jefferson Davis and two named Jeff Davis. John Middleton Clayton was honored by Clayton, Iowa, and Clay, Ark. George Rogers Clark is honored by five counties named Clark; another is named Clarke, spelled with an "e. " Three counties are named for William Clark and five for Meriwether Lewis, and one county is named for both of them, Lewis and Clark County. William Pitt leads with the greatest number of deviations. There is a Pitt County in North Carolina, a Chatham County in Georgia and North Carolina, and Pittsylvania County in Virginia Counties named for the same person are: Jackson (21 counties and Old Hickory Botetourt and Berkeley Murray and Alfalfa Wm. H. Murray Kittson and Norman Hyde and Clarendon Campbell and Loudon-Loudoun 21 States also have provided names for counties: they are Delaware, Iowa; Nevada, Ark. ; Oregon, Mo. ; Texas, Mo. ; and Texas, Okla. Indiana, Pa., was named for Indiana Territory; Republic, Kans. , for the Pawnee Republic, and Jersey, 111. , for New Jersey. Cities in the United States also have provided names for counties such as Dorchester, S. C. ; Lexington, S. C. ; Pitts- burgh, Okla. ; Plymouth, Iowa, and Rutland, Vt. Famous estates and residences also have been commemo- rated such as Ashland, Ohio and Ashland, Wis. , both named for Henry Clay's estate; Vernon, La., and Vernon, Wis., for George Washington's home at Mount Vernon; La Grange, Ind. , for Lafayette's home near Paris, and Arlington, Va. , for John Custis' home. Forts and military posts have lent their names to counties such as Duchesne, Utah for Fort Duchesne, Pa. , Fort Bend, Tex. , for Fort Bend; Defiance, Ohio for Fort Defiance; Massac, 111., for Fort Massac. Many counties have derived their names from those of other counties. Illinois named five of its counties for coun- ties in Kentucky: Christian, Hardin, Mason, Scott and Wood- fordo Illinois named Champaign and Richland counties for counties of the same name in Ohio. Williamson, 111. , was named for Williamson, Tenn. Jones County and Walworth County in South Dakota were named for counties in Iowa and Wis. Albany County and Chautauqua County, N. Y. , have given their names to counties in Wyoming and Kansas respectively. Orange County, Ind. , received its name from Orange County, N. C. Although the preponderance of counties named for cities have derived their names from locations in England, there are many that have resorted to Old World cities. Some of the counties thus named are Geneva, Grenada, Lorain, Me- dina, Athens, Goshen, Marathon, etc. The New World was not neglected in naming counties. For example, Iowa named three of its counties Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo and Palo Alto for battlegrounds in Mexico. Other names are Acadia, La. ; Hidalgo, N. M. ; Nassau, Fla. , 22 and Val Verde, Tex. Although several counties have the same name, there are variations in spelling. There is an Allegany Count y in Mary- land and New York, but North Carolina and Virginia have an Alleghany County, and Pennsylvania has an Allegheny Coun- ty. There is a Pottawatomie County in Kansas and Okla- homa, but the county in Iowa is Pottawattamie County. Ohio has its Wyandot County whereas Kansas has a Wyandotte County. Cheboygan County is in Michigan and Sheboygan County is in Wisconsin. This dissimilarity is true not only of Indian names but of English names. Loudon County in Tennessee and Loudoun County in Virginia are both named for the same man, John Campbell, the fourth Earl of Loudoun. In Ohio, there is a Clark County named for George Rogers Clark, but the coun- ty named for him in Virginia is Clarke County. Some counties have the same sound but are spelled differ- ently because they are named for different people, such as Kearney County, Nebraska, and Kearny County, Kansas. Linn County, Iowa, and Lynn County, Texas are similarly named for different people. There is a great diversity in the or- thography of common names such as Smith and Smyth, Stan- ley and Stanly, Stark and Starke, Stephens and Stevens, Storey and Story, etc. More than one -third of the counties are located in eight states. Texas has the greatest number of counties: 254. The seven other states having more than 100 counties are Georgia 159, Kentucky 120, Missouri 114, Kansas 105, Illi- nois 102, Virginia 100 and North Carolina 100. The state with the smallest number of counties is Dela- ware with only three counties. Texas has almost as many counties as the total number of counties in fifteen states. Louisiana is subdivided into parishes, the equivalent of counties. 23 Alphabetical List of States Showing Number of Counties 67 Alabama 93 Nebraska 14 Arizona 17 Nevada 75 Arkansas 10 New Hampshire 58 California 21 New Jersey 63 Colorado 32 New Mexico 8 Connecticut 62 New York 3 Delaware 100 North Carolina 67 Florida 53 North Dakota 159 Georgia 88 Ohio 44 Idaho 77 Oklahoma 102 Illinois 36 Oregon 92 Indiana 67 Pennsylvania 99 Iowa 5 Rhode Island 105 Kansas 46 South Carolina 120 Kentucky 67 South Dakota 64 Louisiana (parishes) 95 Tennessee 16 Maine 254 Texas 23 Maryland 29 Utah 14 Massachusetts 14 Vermont 83 Michigan 98 Virginia 87 Minnesota 39 Wash ington 82 Mississippi 55 West Virginia 114 Missouri 71 Wisconsin 56 Montana _23 Wyoming 3,067 counties 24 Counties Listed According to Number 3 Delaware 5 Rhode Island 8 Connecticut 10 New Hampshire 14 Arizona 14 Massachusetts 14 Vermont 16 Maine 17 Nevada 21 New Jersey 23 Maryland 23 Wyoming 29 Utah 32 New Mexico 36 Oregon 39 Washington 44 Idaho 46 South Carolina 53 North Dakota 55 West Virginia 56 Montana 58 California 62 New York 63 Colorado 64 Louisiana 67 Alabama 67 Florida 67 Pennsylvania 67 South Dakota 71 Wisconsin 75 Arkansas 77 Oklahoma 82 Mississippi 83 Michigan 87 Minnesota 88 Ohio 92 Indiana 93 Nebraska 95 Tennessee 98 Virginia 99 Iowa 100 North Carolina 102 Illinois 105 Kansas 114 Missouri 120 Kentucky 159 Georgia _254 Texas 3, 067 counties 25 SaqiJX UT2ipui co c- cn c- -^ l I n m co ^ co con i t-nn Aqd^jSoaQ cn i hn i to co c om ^ m ,-1 t-H i-l CO CSJ CM i-l CM CM i-H HN N H , <«3< co *-h o i i hcohoooj n in co m «o oo Oiqd'BjSOia IT5 SO CM CO "tf Tt< CM C- t- O0 00HCO i-H S9IluriOO c-^ifloococo co r- o* ^< cm cm osioo^coco rT ^ 5DHMO 50 5D in ^ O O) OJ O N CO H M CO ■s •l-t 1 <«J«iooo QfeOSflS Sw^jSS I Tf CO N H N tDHH I HOO O) H COCO O) in o m t th r- I cmiiOi-hcmth c- i oo co i m 1 C- CO CO CO D- O CM I NH rH cm rH 1-h th -^ oo co cm co I I I I I 1 I I 1 I 1 1 1 t I I I I I OO rH 1 I H ,T -'|THl rH rH I rH rH rH CM rH O O rH CO rH tHtHtHtH 1CM N H H Ifl H O CM tH rH rH rH I I I I I I 1 rH 1 I CO I IlICMtl IrH-HHrH^I CO I I I I I I ICMrHCMrH rH LO rH 00 00 rH CM CD MO O CO O CD CO Mfl t- H rj< CO H HCO CM rHrHCO CO CO N H CO CO 00 CO Tf CD Ifl HHCO CDNOJ O C- O O rH O CO lO CO OS CM C- rH CMCM t- Tf if) Ifl CM CO "> CU CD cd r* CO ccJ Cd TJ rH Cd rQ > CD CD o o cd cd OQ A X! o CO bO S rH 0) O Ch 27 saqijx ireipui i hm i ion i ^ c- co oo co IN M CO H t> H HH CON i Oi CM CO I H Oi cm 9AI^dlJDS8Q in c- in cm h t- ,-1 co *-t cm oo cn> I m p9}jossy i i i i t-h i i i i i i i spaoM pauioQ I I I I I I I i-( H I H SpJOAV UEipuj I CM i-H CM ^H CM I^OOCMO' spjoav qsiuBds !

The largest county in area is San Bernar- dino, Calif., which has an area of 20,131 square miles, al- most seventeen times that of the state of Rhode Island. The smallest county is New York County which has an area of 22 square miles. Incidentally, it is the fifth most popu- lated county, exceeded only by Cook County, 111. ; Los Ange- les County, Calif. , Wayne County, Mich. , and Philadelphia, Pa. After the name of the state is listed the smallest county with its area in square miles followed by the name and area of the largest county within the state. 30 Alabama, Limestone 545, Baldwin 1,613; Arizona, Santa Cruz 1, 246; Coconimo 18, 573; Arkansas, Sebastian 529, Union 1, 052; California, San Francisco 45, San Bernardino 20,131; Colorado, Denver 58, Moffat 4, 754; Connecticut, Middlesex 374, Hartford 741; Delaware, New Castle 437, Sussex 946; Florida, Pinellas 264; Dade 2,054; Georgia, Clarke 125; Warren 912; Idaho, Payette 403, Idaho 8,515; Illinois, Putnam 166, Mc Lean 1, 173; Indiana, Ohio 87, Allen 671; Iowa, Dickinson 382, Kossuth 979; Kansas, Wyandotte 151, Butler 1, 445; Kentucky, Robertson 101, Christian 726; Louisiana, Orleans 199, Cameron 1,444; Maine, Sagadahoc 257, Aroostook 6, 805; Maryland, Calvert 219, Garrett 668; Massachusetts, Nantucket 46, Worcester 1, 532; Michigan, Benzie 316, Marquette 1, 841; Minnesota, Ramsey 160, Saint Louis 6,281; Mississippi, Walthall 403, (Montgomery 403) Yazoo 938; Missouri, (St. Louis City 61), Worth 267, Texas 1,183; Montana, Deer Lodge 738, Petroleum 1,083; Nebraska, Sarpy 230; Cherry 5,982; Nevada, Ormsby 141, Nye 18,064; New Hampshire, Strafford 377, Coos 1, 825; New Jersey, Hudson 45, Burlington 819; New Mexico, Bernalillo 1, 163, Socorro 7, 772; New York, New York 22, St. Lawrence 2, 772; North Carolina, Chowan 180, Sampson 963; North Dakota, Eddy 643, McKenzie 2, 819; Ohio, Lake 232, Ashtabula 706; Oklahoma, Marshall 414, Texas 2,056; Oregon, Multnomah 424, Harney 10, 132; Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 135, Lycoming 1, 215; Rhode Island, Kent 25, Providence 422; South Carolina, Calhoun 389, Berkeley 1, 214; South Dakota, Clay 403, Meade 3,466; Tennessee, Trousdale 116, Shelby 751; Texas, Rockwall 147, Brewster 6,208; Utah, Davis 268, San Juan 7, 884; Vermont, Grand Isle 77, Windsor 965; Virginia, Arlington 24, Pittsylvania 1, 022; Washington, San Juan 172, Okanogan 5, 295; West Virginia, Hancock 82, Randolph 1,036; Wisconsin, Ozaukee 235, Marathon 1,592; Wyoming, Hot Springs 2,022; Sweetwater 10,492. 31 The newest county in date of creation is Los Alamos County, N. M. , which was created March 16, 1949. The earliest counties were created in Virginia in 1634. They are Accomack, Charles City, Elizabeth City, Henrico, Isle of Wight, James City, Northampton, Warwick and York. Biographical Section The amount of space accorded subjects in the biographical section should not be used to evaluate a person's importance. Individuals like Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, Jackson, Franklin, Lafayette, etc., whose fame is world-wide, have been accorded less space than that to which they are entitled because information about them is readily available. Many unknowns have inversely been granted much more recognition than they deserve. This partiality is deliberate, one of the prime factors being the availability or inaccessibility of bio- graphical material. The purpose is to make inaccessible data readily available for libraries where facilities are lim- ited rather than to determine a scale of importance or great- ness. The biographies are not intended to be complete and to cover every facet and every deed in the subjects' lives, but . to supply clues and leads for further study. In some in- stances, biographies are shorter than may be desired due to the paucity of records. In some instances conflicting claims and statements are so contradictory that the data has been omitted. This is particularly true in the case of the early settlers and Indians for whom little authentic and documented data is available. In the interest of accuracy and as a warning to the unini- tiated, great care should be exercised in the matter of dates. Most biographies - and this is no exception - unintentionally create confusion. As an example, let us create a hypotheti- cal case. Mr. XYZ was sworn in as a Senator on December 10, 1958 and resigned January 5, 1959. The biographical en- try would read "Mr. XYZ; Senator 1958-59." This is ab- solutely correct and standard operating procedure in most books, yet the entry is misleading as the novice might as- sume that Mr. XYZ served two years, whereas in reality he served less than a month. It is suggested that researchers endeavor to consult original sources and documents to obtain exact dates by days, rather than dates by years. 32 Abbeville, S. C. (est.
