History
Formed in 1885 from Crockett County, Kinney County and Pecos County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Val Verde County was created on March 24, 1885, from Crockett, Kinney, and Pecos counties but was not fully organized until May 2, 1885. In 1887, Crockett County was attached to Val Verde for judicial purposes, but by 1891 Crockett was fully organized and detached from Val Verde.
