History
Formed in 1861 from New River County and Bradford County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Baker County was created from New River County (now Bradford County) on February 8, 1861, and was named after James McNair Baker. In 1911, Baker County gained land from Duval County while losing territory to Nassau County.
