The County, however, was still rather sparsely populated at the time, so it was kept under the jurisdiction of Somerset County until the population was large enough and stable enough to justify autonomous political and judicial administration. It was not until March 26, 1807, that the Pennsylvania Assembly granted the young county its complete status; and by November of that year, a full quota of county officials and judges was installed
