Brief History
McMullen
County was created in 1858 from portions of Atascosa,
Bexar and
Live Oak Counties, but was not officially organized until
1877. Prior to
1877 all legal matters took place in neighboring Live Oak
County. The county seat is
located in Tilden. Marriages prior to 1877 will most
likely be found in
Live Oak County. McMullen County is still today primarily
a ranching community.
McMullen County Flag
McMullen County employs a cream-colored
standard which bears the
inscription "McMullen" in brown, written in such manner as to
create the
impression of a mountain or hill. Set atop the U of the
inscription is a green
prickly pear cactus with three red flowers. To either side of
the cactus are
mesquite leaves. The four pads of the prickly pear represent
the four Commissioner
districts of the county. The three red blooms represent the
Blessed Trinity. The mesquite
leaves have 39 leaflets between them, representative of the
books of the
Old and New Testaments of the Protestant Bible. The flag also
carries
a cream cravat, or sash, bearing a brown cross for the
county's Catholic heritage.
