Shirley County, was created by the act of Feb. 27, 1860, which provided that: "The territory composed of townships 5, 6, 7 and 8 south, in ranges, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, west of the 6th principal meridian, shall constitute the county of Shirley." It was named after a woman in jest. By the act of creation commissioners were appointed to locate a temporary county seat, and by the act of Feb. 26, 1867, the name was changed to Cloud county.
