County

A county is a small subdivision of a country. It is a form of local government. A county is usually a group of towns or villages. It has a different meaning in different languages and in different countries. Originally the word was for the land under a count (in Great Britain an earl). Today a "county" is often something between a larger state or province and a smaller town or district.[source?]

County governments keep records and organize elections and laws. They are a kind of local government.
