Which is the largest county in Pennsylvania? The answer depends on whether you mean area or population.

The counties, by shape

Every one, drawn to its own scale so the small ones stay recognisable. Shape alone is not a size comparison; the table below carries the areas.

What the map does not say

The counties of Pennsylvania are nowhere near the same size. Lycoming County covers 1,229 sq mi of land, 9.4 times the 130.3 sq mi of Montour County. People are spread even less evenly: Philadelphia County packs 11,720 per sq mi while Cameron County holds 10.6 per sq mi.

They were not drawn in one sitting either. Philadelphia County dates to 1682, and the boundaries were still being redrawn when Lackawanna County was organised in 1878, 196 years later. Founding years come from Wikidata and are worth checking against the county's own history before citing.

Water is part of the picture too: 48.7% of Erie County is water, the most in the state, which is why its land area and total area disagree. And 42 of the 67 counties here share their names with counties in other states, so searching by name alone can land in the wrong place; the A to Z index lists every duplicate.

Sortable on any column. This table doubles as the text alternative to the map above: every area is a link, in alphabetical order, whether or not the map renders.
