Welcome to the TXGenWeb Project site for genealogical research in Concho County, Texas |
Concho County in central Texas straddles the northern edge of the Edwards Plateau. The county derives its name from the Concho (or "Shell") River, which in turn was named for the large number of mussels found there.
Through the 1800s, Paleo-Indians lived in the county and left
behind archaeological remains of a burned-rock midden. Athabascan-speaking Indians
associated with the prehorse Plains culture live in this part of
Texas. Later native inhabitants include Jumano,
Tonkawa, Comanche and Lipan Apache.
