Polk County, named after President James K. Polk, was one of twenty-three counties formed by the first state legislature of Texas in 1846. The boundaries established on March 30 closely followed those of the old northern division of Liberty Municipality, a subdivision of the Department of Nacogdoches established by the Mexican government in 1830. On August 13, 1870, the part of Polk County west of the Trinity became San Jacinto County. The present area of Polk County was fixed on March 11, 1875, when a portion of Trinity County was annexed. Livingston, formerly Springfield, was selected by a vote as the county seat in 1846. Important pioneers include Pierre J. Menard, who represented Liberty Municipality in the Consultationqv at San Felipe, and George T. Wood, governor of Texas from 1847 to 1849. -Handbook of Texas Online: Polk County |
