The first settlers arrived in the area that is now Hunt County around 1840. These early settlers found tribes of Kiowa, Caddo and Tawakoni Indians settled amidst the tall native prairie grass and large thickets. Approximately 500 people lived in the county when it was formed from Fannin and Nacogodoches Counties by the first legislature of Texas in 1846. The official act to create Hunt County was signed on April 11, 1846. Hunt County's early settlers came mostly from Tennessee and states in the deep south such as Alabama , Georgia and Mississippi . Mercer became interested in Texas colonization. Then, in 1841, on one of his seven trips to Texas, he began exploring the possibility of bringing Anglo-American settlers to the new republic. January 29, 1844, Mercer received an empresario contract from President Sam Houstonqv for a colony located east of the Peters colony. Eager to fulfill the terms of the contract, Mercer returned to the United States in February 1844 to obtain assistance in financing and promoting his venture. He soon organized the Texas Association and began selling shares for $500 each. By the end of the year, as a result of his energetic advertising, more than 100 families had complied with the requirements of his contract and received land certificates. Mercer's contract was a source of controversy, however. Houston had granted it after vetoing a bill by the Texas Congress that would have taken away the president's authority to make such contracts without consulting the Congress. Congress overrode Houston's veto the day after the Mercer contract was granted. Mercer's well-known abolitionist sentiments made the colony an issue in the abolition and annexationqv controversy. Land disputes and the resulting court cases were an additional drain on Mercer's time and finances. BIOGRAPHY: Many of the county's early settlers also came to stake claim to land grants from the Republic of Texas, or as a part of Charles Fenton Mercer 's colony The county was named for Memuchan Hunt , the first Texas minister to the United States. Greenville, which was established on land donated by McQuinney Howell Wright and James G. Bourland, became the county seat. Greenville, the county seat, is named for Thomas Jefferson Green , who, among other things, was second in command of the Meir Expedition. Narrowly named Pickneyville in honor of Governor J. Pickney Henderson, a change was written in at the last moment, and the first seat of Collin County ended up named as such. The first sale of town lots for Greenville was held in 1846, though the city was not officially incorporated until 1850. This was because after the initial survey was done, it was decided that the format of the town needed to be moved somewhat so that trees for lumber would be included in the town site. Because the surveyor had gone, and was not located until 1850, Greenville was not incorporated until that time. BIOGRAPHY: By the end of the Civil War, the county's slave population boomed to over 1200 as slaves from the deep south were sent to Texas in order that they might be kept for safekeeping.
