History

Formed in 1841 from Clinton County

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

Gentry County was created from Clinton County on February 12, 1841, and named after Richard Gentry. Initially not fully organized, the county was attached to Clinton County for civil and military purposes until it was fully organized in 1845.
