The county was named after George Eden, who was the First Earl of Auckland between (1784-1849). (Coincidentally, the county has the same latitude as the city of Auckland, New Zealand - which was also named for George Eden.) In 1852, the county had an area of 1536000acres and was described as being mountainous with fertile plains.[1]
