When it was created on 20 December 1836, the new county took in almost the entire western portion of the Republic of Texas. It actually even included portions of western New Mexico up to Wyoming that were in a disputed area. Once Texas was made a state, this single county was the parent of 128 counties!
Bexar county was named from San Antonio de Bexar, one of the areas of Texas when it gained its independence. It was first known as Villa of San Fernando de Bexas, the first civil government in the Spanish province of Texas. It was officially established in 1731 when settled by fifty-five people from the Canary Island near the existing missions.
