Val Verde County is
located in southwestern Texas on the Mexican border. Although a part
of the county extends west of the Pecos River, more than two-thirds
of it is in the Edwards Plateau. Del Rio, the county seat, is 154
miles west of San Antonio. View map.
Val Verde County was organized from Crockett, Kinney, and Pecos
counties in 1885, part of the land once belonged to Bexar
County. Several communities were formed in the 1880s: Langtry
in 1884, Juno and Devils River in 1886, Comstock in 1888, and Norris
in 1889.
