History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The county was formed in 1771 from Rowan County. It was named for the county of Surrey in England, birthplace of William Tryon, Governor of North Carolina from 1765 to 1771.

In 1777 parts of Surry County and Washington District (now Washington County, Tennessee) were combined to form Wilkes County. In 1789 the eastern half of Surry County became Stokes County. In 1850 the half of the county's remaining territory south of the Yadkin River became Yadkin County.
