History

Formed in 1846 from Nacogdoches County

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

Hunt County was created from Nacogdoches County and organized fully later that year. The county was named after Memucan Hunt, Jr. In 1870, Hunt County lost territory to the creation of Rains County.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
