capitalization

We are working to provide support to Xxxx County in the US.
We will do this, that and the other thing in support of the county/County.
Is county capitalized in the second sentence?

Best Answer

Not usually no, in this case Xxxx County is in the form of a Proper Noun and is capitalised accordingly but "the county" although it refers to the same geopolitical entity is a general article and is not therefore capitalised.
