History

Formed in 1848 from Bexar County

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

Medina County was created from Bexar on February 12, 1848, though it was not fully organized until July 12 of that year. The county gained territory from Bexar in 1873, though it also lost land to the creation of Bandera County in 1856.
