History
Formed in 1867 from Hempstead County and Sevier County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Little River County was created from Hempstead and Sevier counties on March 5, 1867. In 1873, a small area was lost to the creation of Howard County. In 1915, the boundary between Little River and Miller counties was adjusted in range 27 west to accommodate shifts in the Red River.
