Gregg County, Administrative division in East Texas, United States.
Gregg County encompasses 276 square miles of territory in eastern Texas, with Longview serving as its primary administrative center and largest municipality.
The Texas State Legislature established Gregg County in 1873 by acquiring 143 square miles from Upshur County, naming it after Confederate general John Gregg.
The county courthouse in Longview, completed in 1932, displays Art Deco architecture and functions as both an administrative center and historical landmark.
Major transportation routes through Gregg County include Interstate 20, U.S. Highway 80, and U.S. Highway 271, connecting residents to regional economic centers.
The discovery of oil near Joinerville in 1930 transformed Gregg County, leading to a population increase of over 500 percent within a single decade.
