The County Commission had plans to construct a courthouse since late 1924. Charles and Edith Ringling conveyed land to the building. In March 1925, the County Commission hired Dwight James Baum as architect for the courthouse. In September 1925, they awarded the construction contract to Stevenson and Cameron, Inc. of New York.
On March 22, 1984, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. [1][2]
