The county was created by September 10, 1822, and was fully organized on February 9, 1835. The etymology of the county's name is uncertain.

Primary elections were held on August 7, 2012. The filing deadline for candidates to file to run in the primary was May 15. Except for two seats, all the incumbents sought re-election.
