History

Formed in 1854 from McLennan County and Bell County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Coryell was created on February 4, 1854, from McLennan County and non-county area 17, which was attached to Bell County. The county was fully organized by March 1854, and over the following years, non-county area 17 was divided among several newly created counties including Comanche, Erath, Lampasas, Brown, Palo Pinto, Callahan, and Eastland, with the attachment to Coryell ending in 1858.
