Wilson County named for Somervell expedition member and legislator James C. Wilson. Wilson County established 2/13/1860 from Bexar and Karnes Counties, organized 8/6/1860. The Constitutional Convention of 1868-69 altered the boundary between Wilson and Guadalupe Counties and changed the name to Cibolo County but the name was never applied. Another boundary change in 1874 increased the area, and the name was changed back to Wilson County. -Handbook of Texas Online:Wilson County |
