Biographical/Historical:     Gadsden County was created by an act of the Legislative Council on June 24, 1823.  Originally part of Jackson County, Gadsden encompassed "all that part of the Territory east of Apalachicola and West of the Suwanee and Alapaha rivers."  The county underwent several changes to its boundaries until 1909.  The Clerk of the Circuit Court in each county serves as the official custodian of deed, marriage, and probate records.  In November of 1849, the Gadsden County courthouse was destroyed by fire, thus many of its earliest records are lost.
