Before 1832 the area was part of the Municipality of Nacogdoches. It belonged to the Municipality of San Augustine from 1832 until 1835, when it became the Municipality of Sabine, encompassing parts of present-day San Augustine, Jasper and Newton Counties. Sabine County, an original Texas County created 12/14/1837 with present boundaries, was named for the Sabine River. Milam was the original county seat. 8/1858 it was voted to move the county seat, but since the county was not surveyed could not be proven to be in the center of the county. 11/11/1858, after a survey found Milam to be 6.75 miles from the center, a majority again voted for relocation to the new town of Hemphill. -Handbook of Texas Online: Sabine County |
