    Seven years after Kendall County was organized, the first county courthouse was completed in 1870. Local Surveyor John James donated the land. The courthouse was a small one-story structure that housed the first county jail on the northeast corner. The structure we see today includes the addition of a second story to the original courthouse, which operated for 128 years. This Kendall County building is the second oldest Texas courthouse in continuous use.
