United States Counties

The United States is a nation of counties--3,071 of them, to be exact. This reference book offers a brief profile and history of each and every one of them. The authors provide the following information for each county: name, county seat, population, land area, location and prominent geographical features, name derivation, date of establishment, history, famous residents, products and industries, and interesting facts. Selected entries include population and area rankings and name comparatives. Alaska is not included, as it does not have any counties. Connecticut and Rhode Island's counties were officially abolished a few years ago, but information about the former counties is included. Louisiana's parishes are also included.
