The American counties : origins of county names, dates of creation, area, and population data, 1950-2010

Most Americans give little thought to their county?s size, population, when it was created, or how its name came about. But such information can be very helpful to anyone, particularly researchers and genealogists, investigating local or state history. Drawing on information obtained from the 2010 Census, the 6th edition of The American Counties provides up-to-date data on each county?s: land area, population, county seat, date of creation, name origin, dates of governmental organization, elimination, and re-creation. --Publisher's website
