The Atlas of Historical County Boundaries
The Newberry Library of Chicago has released several new books and now is creating a matching website for The Atlas of Historical County Boundaries. The printed and online atlas covers all changes in the boundaries of every county of the United States from their initial creation up to today. The changes listed include every name change, every boundary change, and the attachment of previously unorganized territories to operational counties. This atlas even lists unsuccessful proposed counties. The website is a work in progress, but you can see the current status at: www.newberry.org/ahcbp.
