The form of the creation of this County is not known, but it was prob-
ably 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.

WASHINGTON

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

Named after the river of that name, from the Indian words for
house (wicko) and building (mekee), apparently referring to an Indian
town on 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.
