History of Mills County
The Clovis are the earliest known people to inhabit the territory before Mills County, though recent discoveries indicate that people were living in the area as far back as 15,000 to 20,000 years. More recently, the Tonkawa occupied it, and numerous vestiges from their campsites remain across the county, including cooking middens. Thought to be the first White man to explore the area, Pedro Vial, visited in 1786 and 1789 while traveling between San Antonio and Santa Fe. Captain Henry S. Brown, believed to be the first white visitor, led a group to the area in 1825 to recover stolen stock. Between 1835 and 1850, the eastern part of what was to become Mills County was once encompassed by the Mexican municipality Milam (originally Viesca Municipality); the western part of the county was once a part of Bexar County between 1839 and 1848, then within Travis County between 1848 and 1852.
