The form of the creation of this county is not known, but it was probably
by virtue of an order of the Governor in Council. It was certainly in
existence by February 18, 1661/62 when a writ was issued to the sheriff.
The County seat is Easton.

Named for George Washington. The county owes its creation to the
Constitutional Convention of 1776. The County seat is Hagerstown.

the banks of the river. Provision for the creation of this county was made
by the Constitution of 1867 (Article XIII, Sections 2-6). The County seat
is Salisbury.
