In British Columbia, eight counties are created by the County Boundary Act. The counties exist for the administration of justice and are not used in the administration of government. Local government is organized by municipalities and by regional districts.
The counties are:
County of Cariboo
County of Kootenay
County of Nanaimo
County of Prince Rupert
County of Vancouver
County of Victoria
County of Westminster
County of Yale
Prior to 1895, the districts of the province of British Columbia and its predecessors, the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia, were separated into districts for county courts, supreme courts and shrievalties. The Counties Definition Act of 1895 defined the divisions as the five original counties of Victoria, Vancouver, Westminster, Yale, Cariboo, and Kootenay and created procedures for the administration of justice including the appointment of registrars and sheriffs.[1]
