Named: Named after Napa Valley. The word napa is of Indian derivation
and has been variously translated as "grizzly bear," "house," "motherland" or
"fish." Of the many explanations of the names's origin, the most plausible seems
to be that it is derived from the Patwin word napo meaning house. State & County QuickFacts:

The history of our nation can be seen as a prolonged struggle to define the relative roles and powers of our governments: federal, state, and local. And the names we’ve given our counties, our most locally based jurisdictions, reflects the “characteristic features of
our country!”
But age, size and colorful names of our counties isn’t the only reason to explore counties’ role in American history, or the history of county government itself. In fact, the story of county government reflects the larger meanings of American history.
Today’s counties are the most flexible, locally responsive and creative governments in the US. They are the most diverse, varying in size, population, geography, and governmental structure. In their politics and policies, they express a 1990’s political slogan “Think globally, act locally.” |
