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.
