Biographical/Historical:     Hillsborough County was created by an act (No., 25, Laws) of the Legislative Council on January 25, 1834.  Originally a part of Alachua and Monroe counties, Hillsborough county underwent several boundary changes.  Manatee county was created from Hillsborough by an act of the Legislative Council (No. 19, Laws) on January 9, 1855. During the 1850s and 1860s Hillsborough and Orange counties were adjoined.  How they were adjoined and subsequently separated is unresolved due to confused statutes.  Two additional counties were created from Hillsborough; Polk county on December 13, 1861 (No. 50, Laws) and Pinellas county, on May 23, 1911 (No. 128, Laws).  The Clerk of the Circuit Court in each county serves as the official custodian of deed, marriage, and probate records.
