Formed in 1913 from Cameron County and Nueces County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Kleberg County was created on February 27, 1913, from remnants of Cameron County and from Nueces County, but initially remained attached to Nueces County for administrative purposes. The county was fully organized and detached from Nueces County on June 27, 1913. Kleberg County was named after Robert J. Kleberg.
