Kent County was marked off in 1876 from Bexar and Young counties and named for Andrew Kent,qv one of the so-called "Immortal Thirty-two" from Gonzales, who became immortal by dying at the Alamoqv (some scholars question that the number was thirty-two, or that they were all from Gonzales). Until Kent County was organized, Scurry County assumed the duties of judicial administration. Cattleman R. L. Rhomberg settled in Kent County in 1888 and named a midcounty settlement Clairemont for his daughter, Claire. Kent County was organized in 1892 with Clairemont as the county seat. -Handbook of Texas Online: Kent County |
