Rev. ed. of: American counties / Joseph Nathan Kane. 5th ed. 2005.

Drawing on information obtained from the 2010 Census, this 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, and dates of governmental organization, elimination, and re-creation. It includes information on counties created since the previous edition was published as well as more precise "date of creation" details for many colonial counties. Containing information on all 3,143 counties and county equivalents (independent cities, parishes, boroughs, etc.) in the United States, the 6th edition of The American Counties is an essential resource for researchers looking for basic information on counties in the United States.
