History

Formed in 1846 from Robertson County

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

Limestone County was created from Robertson County on April 11, 1846, and fully organized later that August. The county was named after limestone and experienced several boundary adjustments over the following decades, gaining territory from Navarro County and losing land to the creation of McLennan, Falls, Freestone, and other counties.
