The interesting thing about your trivia questions is that when I have no idea of the answer I often look it up and learn things I didn't start out to learn. In this instance I knew that Alaska was out because they do not have counties, so that left me thinking that the answer would likely be somewhere in Texas. Anyhow, I started out looking and along the way learned that the most populous county in the U.S. is Los Angles county. Now I know a lot of people live in the Los Angles area, but I did not realize that Los Angles county covered as much area as it does. I would have thought that the most populous county would be one where the city population density is high, such as New York City. And of course I was surprised to learn the largest county by area is in California and not in Texas. I think I enjoy the questions I decide to look up more than the ones where I know the answer because I learn more.

Brewster County, Texas, is larger than Rhode Island. Either that or Valentine, NB is my guess. Or Owyhee, Idaho.
San Bernardino County in Southern California?
