Jim Wells County is located in the southern region of the great state of Texas. The county was officially created on March 25, 1911, when it was carved out of Nueces County, and its county seat is Alice. Hispanic settlers initially inhabited the area in the 18th century. The county is named in honor of James B. Wells, Jr., a prominent attorney and rancher who played a crucial role in the development of South Texas.

The early economy of Jim Wells County primarily revolved around livestock, especially cattle and sheep ranching. Agriculture also played a significant role, with cotton being the primary crop. Over the years, oil and gas production contributed greatly to the county's economic growth, starting with the discovery of oil at the Loma Novia oilfield in 1938.

As for a fun fact, Alice, the county seat of Jim Wells County, earned the nickname "Hub City of South Texas" due to its position as a convenient transportation hub. During the early 20th century, a significant event known as the "Alice Racetrack Riot" occurred, wherein a disagreement over a horse race led to a major shootout in 1888. The incident is considered a symbol of the Wild West atmosphere that prevailed in those days. Today, Jim Wells County is known for its diverse wildlife, making it a popular destination for hunting enthusiasts.
