This interactive map provides comprehensive information about the evolution of the state's counties from the creation of the first county to the end of the year 2000.
This map has two goals:
- Make accessible in maps and text the historical boundaries, names, organization, and attachments of every county at any date (day, month, and year) from the creation of the first county through 31 December 2000.
- Make it easy for readers to compare historical county configurations to modern ones.
Historical state and county boundary lines appear in black on the map, modern lines in white.
Consolidated Chronology of State and County Boundaries
A single chronology of all changes in the state and county boundaries, names, organization and attachments.

The organization of this document is chronological; if two or more events occurred on a date, they are listed in alphabetical order beneath the date.
