The American Counties: Origins of County Names, Dates of Creation, and Population Data, 1950-2000

By Joseph Nathan Kane

This latest edition of a longstanding classic contains concise information on each U.S. county's area, population, date of creation and name origin. Unlike previous editions, counties and other 'first-order subdivisions' - independent cities, boroughs, census areas-are now presented in a single list. Greater attention has also been paid to county name origins. An essential resource for researchers in local or state history, travelers, and genealogists.
