Worth County was a Texas county which was established by the state legislature from territory previously belonging to Sante Fe County, Texas on January 3, 1850. Val Verde (later the sight of the Civil War Battle of Valverde[1][2] was established as the county seat.[3]
Worth County was never actually organized as the territory (in large part due to local opposition of the area being considered a part of Texas[4]) and was ceded a few months later to the US Federal government on November 25, 1850, as a part of the Compromise of 1850.[3][5]
