Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A county is a land area of local government within a country. A county may have cities and towns within its area. Originally, in continental Europe, a county) was the land under the jurisdiction of a count . Counts are called earls in post-Celtic Britain, Ireland and France the term is from Old Norse jarl and was introduced by the Vikings, but there is no correlation between counties and earldoms. Rather, county, from French comté, was simply used by the Normans after 1066 to replace the native English term scir Modern English shire. In the United Kingdom, many county names derive from the name of the county town with the word shire added on: for example, Gloucester, in Gloucestershire Worcester, in Worcestershire; etc. Six of the ten Canadian provinces use county as a regional subdivision. These include all four original provinces, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, and Quebec, as well as the fifth province, Prince Edward Island, and Alberta.
