California Counties
***Counties with a live link will go to a page of cities in that county. Cities with a live link will contain a page with a time line of historical events, and live links for resources available in that city that can help you with your research.
Counties are listed in Alphabetical order. I compiled this information by using Wikipedia. California originally had 27 Counties. The other Counties were subdivided between the years of 1860-1907. Just keep that in mind when searching for documents prior to 1907.
