The land that is now in Kleberg County was designated a part of Nueces County; it remained so for many years. As the population in the area increased, the citizens of Kingsville and the other communities began agitating to break away from Nueces County. In 1913 the Texas legislature responded to this pressure and organized Kleberg County, named for Robert Justus Kleberg, whose son, also named Robert Justus Kleberg, was manager of the King Ranch. An election was scheduled for June 27, 1913. Precinct and county officers were chosen, and Kingsville was designated the county seat. -Handbook of Texas Online: Kleberg County |
