History

Founded in 1856

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

Nacogdoches County was formed in 1856, and named after Nacogdoche. Nacogdoches is the county seat.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries; the 5 that matter most are shown first.

  1. 1826
    Nacogdoches County created Nacogdoches (original county) established as a municipality by Mexico. Precise boundaries not described; municipality had initial jurisdiction over territory between the Neches and Sabine Rivers and the remaining area east of the Trinity River was designated part of Nacogdoches on 17 March 1836. Continued uncertainty over the boundary between the United States and Mexico resulted in an overlap between Nacogdoches and Hempstead (Arkansas) and Miller (Ark. Terr., extinct).
