In 1838, Calhoun County was created in part from southeast Washington County (Territorial Laws, 16th session, no. 8).  The line between Washington and Calhoun Counties was altered slightly several times in the late 1800s, including in 1873 (Laws, Ch. 1950).  In 1913, Bay County was created from the southern portion of Washington County (Laws, Ch. 6505).  The Clerk of the Circuit Court in each county serves as the official custodian of deed, marriage, and probate records.
