(old) Miller County, Arkansas, as created by the Territorial Legislature of Arkansas on April 1, 1820, included most of what is now Miller County, Arkansas, and the Texas counties of Bowie, Red River, Lamar, Fannin, Cass, Morris, Titus, Franklin, Hopkins, Delta and Hunt. The area, named for James Miller, territorial governor of Arkansas, was partially taken out of Hempstead County, Texas. For a time the territory was represented in both the Arkansas legislature and the Texas Congress. In 1837 Texas organized Red River County. Fannin County was organized in 1838. Arkansas failed to attach the area to Lafayette County. (new) Miller County was created out of an Arkansas part of Lafayette County in December 1874. -Handbook of Texas Online:Miller County AR |
