ALPINE. County seat, Markleeville. Created March 16, 1864. It derived its name from the English word alpine meaning “of, pertaining to, or connected with, the Alps.” Its geographical position, lying as it does on the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountains, makes it particularly an alpine county, and hence its name.
