Harris County, Texas Post Office Lineage Information Page

This area was known as the San Jacinto District from 1824 until 1833, when it was renamed the Harrisburg District. The final stage of development under the Mexican system occurred on December 30, 1835, when the General Councilqv set the boundaries of Harrisburg Municipality. Harrisburg County was formed by the First Congress on December 22, 1836. The lawmakers also named Andrew Briscoe chief justice and the infant city of Houston the county seat and Texas national capital. The county encompassed the territory of the old municipality plus Galveston Island (the mainland was attached to Brazoria County) until May 1838, when its modern boundaries were established. In December 1839, Congress changed the name to Harris County, in honor of John R. Harris. The county briefly lost its northwest corner in 1841 when Spring Creek residents tried to form a separate county. -Handbook of Texas Online: Harris County
