History
Formed in 1867 from Marion County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Reno County was created from Marion County on February 26, 1867, but was not fully organized at that time. The county was named after Jesse L. Reno. Reno County was attached to various counties for judicial purposes over the following years before becoming fully organized on January 1, 1872.
