In 1846 Judge James McCulloch Baker was
appointed by Governor James Pinckney Henderson to establish the
temporary county government. In 1846-47 the county seat was
Daniel Boone Friar's store at the junction of the La Bahía Road
and the Gonzales-Victoria road. A courthouse was constructed at
Cameron, but in the next four years the county had four new
seats of government, each change being the result of an
election, a recount of votes, an appeal, or a Supreme Court
decision. On November 28, 1850, the county court met at Clinton
near Chisholm's Ferry, and Clinton remained the center of county
government until Cuero became county seat in 1876. |
