the first homesteaders to this area of the Sandhills. But their dreams quickly
faded as they soon discovered the soil in this region was not conducive to
dryland farming. With the light soil and lack of rainfall, they packed up and
headed for areas better suited to raise crops. Neighboring Counties:

The history of our nation was a prolonged struggle to define
the relative roles and powers of our governments: federal, state, and local.
And the names given the counties, our most locally based jurisdictions,
reflects the "characteristic features of this 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." |
