History in a Pecan Shell

Created in 1856 from Bexar County, Kerrville has been the county seat of Kerr County with the exception of the years 1860-62 when the seat was Comfort. Both town and city were named after James Kerr, who was one of the signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence and an early settler. Kerrville's population has consistently been approximately half that of the County.
