Bosque County TX, was officially established on February 4, 1854, from McLennan County. Bosque County’s name originates from the Spanish word for “woods,” aptly reflecting its densely forested terrain and scenic landscapes along the Bosque River. This geographical feature not only defines the county’s physical character but also its historical livelihood, with early economies rooted in agriculture and ranching, taking advantage of the fertile river valleys. The county seat, Meridian, sits at the heart of the region, embodying the small-town charm and community spirit that typify life in Bosque County.
“Bosque County, Texas,” authored by William C. Pool, is an historical account of Bosque County, Texas, spanning from its early settlement in 1850 through the mid-20th century. Published in 1954 by the San Marcos Record Press, this book builds on the only previously printed work on the county’s history—a pamphlet authored by Hugh J. and Calvin M. Cureton in 1904.
