Very basic question as it's been years since I used ArcView.
I need to add a county to an existing shapefile. What is the easiest way to do so?

Use the
Append Tool
if you want to add it to the existing shapefile
If you want to make a new shapefile from the two, use the
Merge Tool
.

Is the county in a shapefile? If the files are in the same format, you could use Append, or copy/paste.

You can start an editing session and then add it through that.
If you have a different shapefile that has the county you want to add already, you can use the
append
or
merge
tool.
I hope this helps!
