== History ==

Sierra County ~~was~~ one of the original counties of Verona, ~~created~~ at the time of Verona statehood in ~~1710~~.

Sierra County has a long history as one of the original counties of Verona, dating back to its establishment in 1630 at the time of Verona's statehood. Its early boundaries encompassed a vast swath of northeastern Verona, including what are now Andina, Lynnhaven, Santa Rosa, and Victoria Counties. In the late 18th and 19th centuries, however, Sierra County underwent a series of boundary changes, resulting in the creation of the aforementioned counties. This period of change was not unique to Sierra County, as many other counties across the state, such as Richland County, also experienced similar shifts during this time.

~~At the time of its establishment~~ in ~~1710~~, Sierra County ~~was relatively large~~, and ~~included a large portion of northeastern Verona, with all of what are now~~ Andina, ~~Lynnhaven,~~ Santa Rosa, ~~and Victoria Counties. During~~ the ~~later part~~ of ~~the 18th and 19th centuries~~, ~~there~~ were ~~numerous changes in the boundaries~~ of ~~Sierra County~~, ~~when various areas were separated~~ to ~~make up~~ the ~~counties aforementioned~~. This ~~is similar to the time period~~ of ~~other counties across the state, like [[Richland County, Verona|Richland County]]~~.

Sierra County's area was 191 percent larger in 1689 than it is today, covering the entire modern-day Palm Coast metropolitan area. Lynnhaven County was the first county to be separated from Sierra County sixty years after statehood in 1690. As the population continued to grow, further sections were split off to form portions of Victoria County in 1878 and Andina County in 1894, as well as to organize Santa Rosa County in 1901. Despite these boundary changes, Sierra County remains the second-largest county in Verona

Sierra County, along with the other original counties of Verona, was divided into smaller administrative divisions called prefectures. These prefectures were often composed of multiple old communities, which eventually merged to form modern-day municipalities such as Sierra and other cities within the county. This system of prefectures persisted until 1701. They were:

* Adira Prefecture

* Agoura Prefecture

* Alvaria Prefecture

* Arvotta Prefecture

* Cerana Prefecture

* Dominion Prefecture

* Esteza Prefecture

* Terralagoa Prefecture

* Mirada Prefecture

* Saratoga Prefecture

* Sierra Prefecture

* Torino Prefecture

* Valdesan Prefecture

* Vetera Prefecture

* Westwood Prefecture
