This page contains all Counties in the State of New York.
 


The 10 Original counties are highlighted in bold text.

 All other counties listed were formed from one or parts of the original counties or sub-counties as they were formed.

Use the "Date Formed" time line to help guide you in your research. Keep in mind that the names of the parent county or counties are those from which the new county was first formed in the year indicated. Many changes took place later, at which times whole towns or parts of them were annexed to or from the newer county.
