History

Founded in 1837

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

Originally created as Bevil County in 1834 from Liberty, it was renamed Jasper in 1835. Jasper became a county in the Republic of Texas in 1836, and later became a county in the state of Texas in 1845.
