/ˈkaʊni/, /ˈkaʊnti/

  COUNTY. A district into which a state is divided. 
       2. The United States are generally divided into counties; counties are 
  divided into townships or towns. 
       3. In Pennsylvania the division of the province into three Counties, 
  viz. Philadelphia, Bucks and Chester, was one of the earliest acts of 
  William Penn, the original proprietary. There is no printed record of this 
  division, or of the original boundaries of these counties. Proud says it was 
  made about the year 1682. Proud's Hist. vol. 1 p. 234 vol. 2, p. 258. 
       4. In some states, as Illinois; 1 Breese, R. 115; a county is 
  considered as a corporation, in others it is only a quasi corporation. 16 
  Mass. R. 87; 2 Mass. R. 644 7 Mass. R. 461; 1 Greenl. R. 125; 3 Greenl. R. 
  131; 9 Greenl. R. 88; 8 John. R. 385; 3 Munf. R. 102. Frequent difficulties 
  arise on the division of a county. On this subject, see 16 Mass. R. 86 6 J. 
  J. Marsh. 147; 4 Halst. R. 357; 5 Watts, R. 87 1 Cowen, R. 550; 6 Cowen, R. 
  642; Cowen, R. 640; 4 Yeates, R. 399 10 Mass. Rep. 290; 11 Mass. Rep. 339. 
       5. In the English law this word signifies the same as shire, county 
  being derived from the French and shire from the Saxon. Both these words 
  signify a circuit or portion of the realm, into which the whole land is 
  divided, for the better government thereof, and the more easy administration 
  of justice. There is no part of England that is not within some county, and 
  the shire-reve, (sheriff) originally a yearly officer, was the governor of 
  the county. Four of the counties of England, viz. Lancaster, Chester, Durham 
  and Ely, were called counties Palatine, which were jurisdictions of a 
  peculiar nature, and held by, especial charter from the king. See stat. 27 
  H. VIII. c. 25.
