<h2> History  </h2>
<p>Yavapai County was one of four original counties created by Arizona Territory. It originally covered over 65,000 square miles in size and is believed to be the largest county ever created in the lower 48 States.
</p><p>Yavapai County came to be known as the “Mother of Counties” because Apache, Coconino, Gila, and Navajo counties were carved from it, plus parts of Greenlee, Graham, Mohave, Maricopa, and Pinal. Today, Yavapai County is 8,125 square miles in size – approximately the same size as the state of Massachusetts!
</p><p>Yavapai County was also home to Arizona’s first territorial capital, with the provisional seat of the territorial government being established in the Chino Valley area in 1864 and then several months later moved to Prescott. In 1867, the territorial capital was moved to Tucson and ten years later returned to Prescott. In 1889 the capital was moved to Phoenix, where it remains to this day.

<h4> Parent County  </h4>
<ul><li>Until 1821 -&#160; &lt;a _fcknotitle="true" href="New Spain"&gt;New Spain&lt;/a&gt; controlled land that later would become Arizona. Some records of early settlers may have been sent to an &lt;a href="http://www.mcu.es/archivos/MC/AGI/index.html"&gt;archives&lt;/a&gt; in Seville, Spain, or to &lt;a href="Mexico Archives and Libraries"&gt;archives&lt;/a&gt; in Mexico City. <br>
