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.
