The counties of the United States originated from the early colonial governance structures established by European settlers, primarily the English, who divided land into administrative regions for local management. As the nation expanded westward, new counties were created to organize growing populations and manage resources. The county system was formalized in state constitutions, with each state having the authority to establish its own counties based on its specific needs and geography. Today, there are over 3,000 counties across the U.S., each serving as a critical unit for local government and administration.
