| | Florida County Courts |
 | | The Florida constitution of 1885, Article V, sections 16 and 17, mandated a County Judge in each county, and permitted, in Article V, section 18, a County Court to be established upon act of the legislature. |
 | | In Laws of Florida, 1915, Chapter 6904, Civil Courts of Record were established for counties with a population exceeding 70,000 whereupon any county court in such county was abolished. |
 | | These revisions were contained in the 1972 Supplement to the Florida Statutes, 1971, as section 34.022, but subsection 2, regarding municipalites in certain counties transferring their jurisdictions to the county courts, was removed by chapters 73-329 and 73-333 (Laws, 1973) from the Florida Statutes of 1973. |
