Liberty County, Administrative division in southeastern Texas, United States
Liberty County is an administrative division in southeastern Texas spanning approximately 1,176 square miles (3,040 square kilometers). The Trinity River cuts through the territory, creating two distinct geographic regions on either side.
The area was established as Villa de la Santísima Trinidad de la Libertad under Mexican administration in 1831 and became part of the Republic of Texas in 1836.
The Sam Houston Regional Library and Research Center north of Liberty maintains archives documenting the development of southeast Texas through centuries.
The area is served by several school districts including Cleveland ISD, Dayton Independent School District, and Liberty ISD providing education to local communities. The Sam Houston Regional Library located north of the county seat holds historical records and research materials.
Davis Hill in the northern section represents the highest point in the area and sits atop a natural salt dome. This geological feature is a distinctive characteristic of the northern landscape.
