History

Formed in 1843 from Adair County

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

Schuyler County was created on February 17, 1843, from Non-County Area 24 but was not fully organized, so it was attached to Adair County for all civil and military purposes. On February 14, 1845, Schuyler County was fully organized and detached from Adair County.
