History
Formed in 1887 from Crockett County and Kimble County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Sutton County was created from Crockett County on April 1, 1887, but was not fully organized and was attached to Kimble County for judicial and surveying purposes. The county was fully organized and detached from Kimble County on November 4, 1890. Sutton County was named after John S. Sutton.
