Note:
The Kenedy County courthouse was actually built in 1917 and
it served as the courthouse for Willacy County. When Kenedy County was created
in 1921, Willacy County was reorganized and the county seat was moved to Raymondville.
Sarita became the county seat of the newly formed Kenedy County and the county
continued to use the 1917 courthouse. - Terry
