Between the Texas Revolution and the Mexican Warqqv of 1846-48, most of what is now McMullen County lay in the disputed area between the Rio Grande and the Nueces River. When McMullen County was officially established from parts of Bexar, Atascosa, and Live Oak counties in 1858, the area had only begun to be settled. In 1877, when McMullen County was officially organized, Dog Town was chosen as the county seat. That same year, the town was formally surveyed, and its name was changed to Tilden. -Handbook of Texas Online: McMullen County |
