Historical markers in val verde county

​The Texas State Historical Survey Committee, renamed the Texas Historical Commission in 1973, was created in 1953 by the State to survey Texas historical resources and suggest ideas how to preserve those resources. The historical marker program is one of those ideas. The first historical marker in Texas were cast in 1962, half a century ago (Camp Ford in Smith County). Churches and cemeteries are the most common subjects for Texas historical makers, but markers may be dedicated to almost anything. Below is a list of Val Verde County historical markers. The topics are wide-ranging and important to county history, state history, national history, and even world history.
