LAND RECORDS

                                       

Land Tract Names

When land was first patented, it was given a name, some very creative. The land tracts usually contained hundreds or thousands of acres and later were divided off and sold to different people. When an area was resurveyed (perhaps including parts of several different tracts), it many times was given a new tract name. So, a land tract by one name may have been part of an earlier land tract by a different name. Some of the equity court abstracts show examples of this.
