Welcome to Walker Co., TX.  My name is Cheryl and am the CC for Walker Co., TX. I am a native Texan, born in Houston, Harris Co., TX and living in Leon Co., TX
This site is undergoing some changes so please be patient with me.  If something is not here that was before, let me know and I will get it back up as soon as I possibly can.

Walker County, Texas was organized 6 Aug 1846 by an act of the State of Texas Legislature.  The area was originally named for Robert J. Walker of Mississippi, who introduced into the United States Congress the resolution for the annexation of Texas; because he was a Unionist during the Civil War, however, in 1863 the state legislature changed the honoree to Samuel H. Walker
