Following the Louisiana Purchase and the admittance of Louisiana into the United States in 1812, five counties were formed out of the Missouri Territory at the first general assembly: Cape Girardeau, New Madrid, Saint Charles, Saint Louis, and Ste. Genevieve. Most subsequent counties were apportioned from these five original counties. Six more counties were added through the 1836 Platte Purchase, the acquired lands of which formed the northwest tip of the state and consisted of Andrew, Atchison, Buchanan, Holt, Nodaway, and Platte counties.[1] In Missouri, the county level of government comes between those of the city and the state. Its primary responsibilities include maintaining roads, providing security, prosecuting criminals, and collecting taxes. Elected officials at this level include a sheriff, prosecuting attorney, and assessor.[2] Most of the counties in Missouri are named after politicians. One such county, Cass, was originally named Van Buren County after President Martin Van Buren, and was changed to its present name in support of Van Buren's Democratic opponent Lewis Cass during the presidential election of 1848. Other counties are named after war heroes, natural resources, explorers, and former U.S. territories.[3] The city of St. Louis is an independent city, and is not within the limits of a county. Its residents voted to secede from St. Louis County in 1876. Throughout the United States, St. Louis is one of three independent cities outside the state of Virginia (the other two are Baltimore, Maryland and Carson City, Nevada).[4] Population figures are based on the 2010 United States Census. According to that census, the population of Missouri is 5,988,927, an increase of 7.0% from 2000. The average population of Missouri's counties is 52,078; St. Louis County is the most populous (998,954), and Worth County is the least (2,171). The average land area is {{convert|599|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}}. The largest county is Texas County (1,179 sq mi, 3,054 km2) and the smallest is St. Louis city (61.9 sq mi, 160 km2).[5][6] The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) is used by the U.S. government to uniquely identify counties, and is provided for each entry. These codes link to the United States Census Bureau's "quick facts" for each county. To distinguish from counties in other states, one must use Missouri's FIPS code, 29. For example, Adair County's unique nationwide identifier is 29001.[8] {{clear}}Counties{{Countytabletop| region_width = 120px | fips_ref = [8] | region_seat_width = 80px | region_seat_title = County seat | region_seat_ref = [9] | data2_width = 120px | data2_title = Established | data2_ref = [9] | data3_width = 50px | data3_title = Formed from | data3_unsortable = yes | data3_ref = [3] | data4_width = | data4_unsortable = yes | data4_title = Etymology | data4_ref = [3][10][11] | population_ref = [6] | area_ref = [9] }}{{Countyrow|N=29|Num=001| Name=Adair| Seat=Kirksville| Data2=1841 | Data3=Macon County |Data4=John Adair (1757–1840), pioneer, soldier, and seventh Governor of Kentucky | Population=25607| Area=568| Size=80px|Alt=A state map highlighting Adair County in the northern part of the state.}}{{Countyrow|N=29|Num=003| Name=Andrew| Seat=Savannah| Data2=1841 | Data3=Part of the Platte Purchase |Data4=Andrew Jackson Davis (1826–1910), spiritualist and missionary who settled in St. Louis | Population=17291| Area=435| Size=80px|Alt=A state map highlighting Andrew County in the northwestern part of the state.}}{{Countyrow|N=29|Num=005| Name=Atchison| Seat=Rock Port| Data2=1843 | Data3=Holt County, part of the Platte Purchase |Data4=U.S. Senator David Rice Atchison (1807–1886), a Democrat from Missouri| Population=5685| Area=545| Size=80px|Alt=A state map highlighting Atchison County in the northwestern corner of the state.}}{{Countyrow|N=29|Num=007| Name=Audrain| Seat=Mexico| Data2=1831 | Data3=Callaway, Monroe and Ralls counties |Data4=James H.
