I found this (below) at: Allegany County GenWeb - County Election Districts All but district number 17 were formed before the 1864 date of this newspaper, so I don't know which districts were split in order to make #17. Anyone want to jump on board here and try to figure out an accurate list of districts for 1864??? Districts of Allegany County Before the Formation of Garrett County No. 1 District Name: Glades (formed 1799) also known as: Armstrong's Glades Altamont (1867) No. 2 District Name: Selbysport (formed 1799) No. 3 District Name: Grantsville (formed 1817) also known as: Little Crossings until 1850 No. 4 District Name: Westernport (formed 1799) No. 5 District Name: Frostburg (formed 1799) originally: Musselanes No. 6 District Name: Cumberland (formed 1799) also known as: Court-House No. 7 District Name: Oldtown (formed 1799) No. 8 District Name: Little Orleans (formed 1817) also known as: Fifteen-Mile Creek No. 9 District Name: Flinstone (formed before 1828) No. 10 District Name: Ryan's Glades (formed 1835) No. 11 District Name: Accident (formed 1849) No. 12 District Name: Mr. Savage (formed 1852) No. 13 District Name: Cumberland (formed 1852) No. 14 District Name: Sang Run (formed 1852) No. 15 District Name: Oakland (formed 1860) No. 16 District Name: Lanaconing (formed 1860) No. 17 District Name: Barton (formed 1872) On Nov 6, 2010, at 9:53 AM, Karen E.
