Welcome to Anderson
County, Texas
Anderson County, originally part of David G. Burnet's
Colony, was
once part of Houston County. In 1846 Anderson County was formed
and
named after Kenneth L. Anderson, who was the Vice-President of Texas
from 1844 until the state's annexation. Ft. Houston and Mound Prairie both
wanted to be the county seat, but by law it had to be in the geographic
center of the county, so the city of Palestine as the county seat was
established. Today
the next most significant city is Elkhart.
