Before the existence of Morris County,
five counties included all or part of its territory. In 1820 the
area was organized as Miller County, Arkansas. In 1836 the tract
became Red River County of the Republic of Texas. |
|
In January 1841 the Congress of the republic
established Paschal County for judicial and other purposes and
designated Daingerfield county seat. The act establishing Paschal
County was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court the next year
because it did not provide the county with representation in the
legislature. Subsequently, part of what was to become Morris County
became part of Red River County, and the rest of the area was part
of Bowie County.

In 1846 the First Legislature of the
state of Texas established Titus County, which included all of the
territory in present Morris County. Morris County was demarked from
Titus County on March 13, 1875, and probably named for William W.
Morris. The county was organized on May 12, 1875, with Daingerfield
as the county seat.
