CHAIRMEN OF THE COUNTY COURT-COUNTY JUDGES-COUNTY EXECUTIVES
Prior to 1950 the chairman of the County Court was elected by the justices composing the County Court. Although the county chair man was elected for one year at a time traditionally a justice elected as county chairman sometimes would be elected for a second term in the position. The chairman served as executive officer of the county.
Since 1875 the office of chairman was comparable to that of county judge.
In 1950 E. T. King was elected County Judge by popular vote. He became the general administrative, financial and executive officer of the county.
The office of County Judge was changed to County Executive in 1987, in July 2005 the office was changed again to the County Mayor.
