Administrative History
The U.S. Deposit Fund was established by Laws of 1837, Chapter 150, to make surplus monies distributed to the states from the U.S. Treasury available for loans for improved real estate.
Two commissioners were appointed in each county to administer that county's share of the Fund. The Commissioners' minute and account books were delivered to the Comptroller when Commissioners of the U.S. Deposit Fund were abolished in 1911 (Laws of 1911, Chapter 634).
