San Patricio County was established in 1836 by
the Congress of the new Republic of Texas. Far larger than the
current county, the original San Patricio County included territory
later incorporated into other counties. |
|
In 1845 Corpus Christi was designated the
county's seat of government and remained so until 1846, when San
Patricio County lost all of its territory south of the Nueces River
to the newly established Nueces County. That year the town of San
Patricio became San Patricio County's seat. In 1848 more new
counties were formed, and the county was further reduced in size.

The development of the county intensified during
the first years of the twentieth century, and particularly after
1909, when land agents began to widely advertise San Patricio County
property to prospective farmers. New towns such as Odem (1904), St.
Paul (1909), Edroy (1910), Taft, and Sodville sprang up along the
railroads, as hundreds of new farmers moved into the area from
northern Texas and other states. |
