California. Justice Court (Yolo Country : Putah Township)
Biographical notes:
Yolo County's judicial history began in 1850 when the new California Legislature acted to create the State's first twenty-seven counties. In June 1850 a court of sessions, composed of the Yolo County Judge and two justices of the peace, convened at the original county seat of Fremont. This court divided Yolo County into townships. Each township was to have one elected justice of the peace presiding over a justice's court, and at least one constable was to be appointed by the County Sheriff for duty with each of the justice's courts. Boundaries of Yolo County's judicial townships were established in 1850, but they were reorganized on several occasions.
