History

Formed in 1845 from Dade County and St. Clair County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Cedar County was named after the eastern redcedar tree, Juniperus virginiana. Its boundary with Bates County was defined on February 6, 1847, with no change to the county's territory.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
