| 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. |
