A tornado warning has been issued for Kingfisher County. Does cotton grow in Cotton County? Where is Pushmataha County? Every adult needs to know the counties of his state. These simple divisions are used for voting, locating, weather reports, and news reporting. If you know your counties you will be ahead when it comes to navigating your state.
Two states use different terms for counties. Michigan calls its divisions townships. Louisiana uses the term parish. The word county is used in England and Wales. It referred to the domain of a Count. A count was an English nobleman who was responsible to give account for the number of persons residing in his domain. It is now used as a territorial division within the United States.
Why learn the counties? A reader will come across a county name in newspaper many times per issue. When the county is mentioned in news reports, in voting returns, as a location of a town, or as the area within the state expecting bad weather or hosting an upcoming event, then the student will benefit from knowing his counties.
