Why Counties Matter
No two counties are exactly the same.
Counties are one of America's oldest
forms of government, dating back to
1634 when the first county
governments were established in
Virginia. The organization and
structure of counties are charted under
state Constitutions or law and are
tailored to fit the needs and
characteristics of the state and local
areas. Counties are governed by
locally elected officials.
