HISTORY OF COUNTY
The arcs concerned in thia
program is limited to McCul-
loch County, Texas. The coun-
ty is located in the center of
the state. In fart, the exact
geographical center of Texas
is located only a few miles
north of Brady, the county seat.
The county received ita
name in 1H7K. heing named
for General Ben McCulloch. Of
the territory that now com-
prises McCulloch County, very
little is known before lHdO. It
is true that a Spaniard nameo
Jo-se Mare* is supposed to I
have passed through here and
left a record of his journey
from Santa Fe to San An-
tonio. There are other refer-
ences of people who lived up
and down the San Saba River.

The community of Calf
Creek i* where Jamea
Howie held his noted battle
with the Indians in IH.AI
There is a state historical
marker on this supposed
battle spot. Near Camp San
Saha. John (). Mueseharh
held bin meeting with the
Indians in 1n|J which re-
sulted in the treaty where-
by surveyors were allowed
to come into the territory
and survey.
There are several other re-
ference* to a roml up the San I
Saha River whereby a surveyor
named Rartlett made a study
of the vegetable and animal
life. The county was created
in 1856.
About I860 Brown and San
Saha Counties, having -«<me set-
tlements, began to find set-
tler* expanding over into M<
Culloch County. This occurred
on Deep Creek in the north end |
of the county and on Lnat
Creek in the south of the coun-
ty In 1862, a county organi-
zation was made which func-
tioned for about four years
when it lapsed and reverted to
San Saha County. In 1876, the
present county government was 1
organized.
Livestock raising was the I
principal industry for many
year* The tax assessment of!
1865-66 showed 6lt head of
horse* and 26.175 cattle Poll
tax list number 64. The U. S. I
Census of 1870 gives the pi'PU- t
lation as 172. The county con- |
tinued to grow slowly; -heep
and cattle ranches were estab-
lished. and after 1876, roads
were laid out and small schools
were established.
One of the first drouths
of record ia that of I87!».
References indicate very
little grass and water waa
available. One cilixen ia
aaid to have reported there
waa not enough graas south
of the Hrady Mountains to
make a hen's neat.
Another drouth in 1887 was
so severe that the state took
measures to relieve the situa-
tion. Water was so scarce the
sheriff refused to allow the
public to take water from the
jail cistern.
In 1881 a right-of-way and
ether rights were granted to j
the Cattle Trail Railway hut
nothing ever < ame of the grant,
latter, the Kansas Cattle Trail
was established about three
