Pennsylvania Counties

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania today has 67 counties, but there were not
always that many. For proper genealogical research in most states, you need to
know the geo/political boundaries during the time when your ancestor's records
were established. Below is a list of all 67 Pennsylvania counties with the year of
creation. Each county is linked to it's own web page where you'll find additional
information, plus a map highlighting where that county is located today.
