History
Formed in 1856 from Bosque County and Coryell County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Comanche County was created from Non-County Area 22 attached to Bosque and Non-County Area 17 attached to Coryell, and was fully organized on March 17, 1856. The county gained territory from Coryell in August 1856 and January 1858, and lost territory to the creation of Hamilton County in January 1858. In 1870, Callahan, Eastland, and Taylor were detached from Comanche County and attached to Palo Pinto for judicial purposes, and Mills County was created from Comanche territory in 1887.
