History
Formed in 1850 from Bexar County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Uvalde County was created from Bexar County in 1850 but was not fully organized until 1856. In 1858, the county lost territory to the creation of Frio, Dimmit, and Zavala Counties, but gained a small area from Maverick County. Over the following years, several counties including Maverick, Kinney, Edwards, and Zavala were attached to or detached from Uvalde for various judicial purposes, with Maverick finally becoming fully organized and detaching in 1871.
