La Salle County is situated in the southern part of Texas and was established in 1858. It is named after Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, a 17th-century French explorer who led an expedition through the region in the quest to find the mouth of the Mississippi River. Covering an area of approximately 1,494 square miles, La Salle County is primarily known for its ranching and agricultural history, and more recently, for its booming oil and gas industry.

Prior to the establishment of the county, the area was inhabited by various Native American tribes, such as the Lipan Apache and Comanche. The region became part of Mexico following its independence from Spain in 1821, and later, Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1836. The formation of La Salle County was officially marked in 1858, when it was carved out from the larger Bexar County.

In the early days, the county's economy was driven by cattle ranching and its location on important trade routes, with the San Antonio-Laredo Road being a significant artery for commerce. The arrival of the International-Great Northern Railroad in the 1880s transformed the region, encouraging further settlement and development. Major towns in La Salle County include Cotulla, its county seat, Encinal, and Fowlerton.

The discovery of oil and natural gas in the early 20th century had a profound effect on the county's economy, and it remains a significant player in the energy sector. The region experienced another surge in development with the onset of the Eagle Ford Shale boom in the late 2000s, characterized by a rapidly growing oil and gas industry.

A fun fact about La Salle County is that First Lady Laura Bush, wife of the 43rd U.S. President George W. Bush, taught at an elementary school in Cotulla for a brief period in the early 1970s. This experience helped shape her lifelong commitment to education and literacy programs.
