OverviewThis massive reference work supplies the origins of all county (and parish) names in the United States. It is organized into 49 chapters covering the 48 states with counties and the one state (Louisiana) with parishes. Alaska, which has no comparable governmental subdivision, is the omitted state. Each chapter lists its entries A-Z and then ends with its own bibliography. Each entry, rich with historical details, explains the origins of its name. Among the diverse origins are such things as presidents, rivers, Indian tribes and military heroes. A general bibliography and full index complete this reference.
