 1909 Upshur County Court House Gilmer, Texas |
The first settler within the limits of
modern Upshur County was probably Isaac Moody, who
settled on the Cherokee Trace near West Mountain in
1836. The area that is now Upshur County was
originally part of Nacogdoches County and later
was incorporated into Harrison County. On
April 27, 1846, after Texas was admitted to the
Union, the first legislature of the state of
Texas established Upshur County; at that time the
county included the area of present Camp County
and part of modern Gregg County. On May 1, 1848, the
county's voters chose the location for Gilmer, the
county seat, and in August the sale of blocks and lots
in the new town began. (More) |

| We would like to dedicate these awards to the wonderful patrons of Upshur County. They are truely the ones that made this possible by sending in such a vast amount of information. Their names are too numerous to list, but they have worked hard reading cemeteries, taking pictures, digging through personal files, transcribing data, sending old photographs, doing lookups, typing, etc. We appreciate all their hard work and input, and we look forward to being able to continue working with each and every one. Congratulations Upshur County Patrons and lets continue to make the Upshur County TXGenWeb site grow! |
