Tuolumne County
History
A History of Tuolumne County, California - San Francisco, B.F. Alley, 1882.
OFFICERS OF TUOLUMNE COUNTY.
The following tables give the names of the incumbents of the various offices, with the dates at which their terms of office began—the elections mostly occurring in September or October of the preceding year.
In addition, these facts have been elicited:
The total vote of Tuolumne County in 1851 was 1,282. In 1852, it was 5,672; in 1857, 5,504; in 1863, 3,777; in 1868, 2,095; in 1872, 1,559; and in 1877, 1,807.
In 1851, Sonora polled 650 votes; in 1852, 1,030. Columbia's vote in the former year was 168, while in 1852 it had risen to 1,230.
Shaw's Flat, which in 1851 threw 114 votes, in the following year gave 368; while Springfield, where no polls were held in '51, by the next year had 280 voters.
To explain apparent discrepancies in the following tables, it should be recollected that the number of townships in the County was frequently changed, the number varying from four to seven; and also, it should be said, that for a portion of the time the Coroner performed the duties of Public Administrator, as did the County Clerk those of Recorder and Auditor.
During a portion of the time, also, Assessors and Collectors of the taxes were elected for each of the four revenue districts into which the County was divided.
During the years 1871 and 1877 no changes took place; therefore, these years do not appear in the table.
