In California, county size seems to vary from 46.69 square miles (San 
Francisco) to 20,052 square miles (San Bernadino). It has a lot to do 
with the population of the area at the time the counties were 
established (though I believe the next smallest county is Santa Cruz, at 
445 square miles; SF county is a bit of an oddity).
