Liberty County, Texas was founded in 1831, as a municipality in Mexico as Villa de la Santísima Trinidad de la Libertad by commissioner José Francisco Madero and organized as a county of the Republic of Texas in 1836. Its name was anglicized as Liberty based on the ideal of American liberty. Another early name, ARKOKISA, one of the names of the Trinity River, is probably a corruption of ORQUISACO, the name of an Indian tribe on its banks. At a later period it was called ATASCOSITA District, because of the Atascosita Road that crossed the river here.
