Summary
In 1889 county residents successfully petitioned to organize the county, and elections were held the same year. Mullen was selected as the county seat. The first courthouse was a small one-story wood frame building constructed in 1889. In 1911 the county residents passed a bond issue to finance a new courthouse. Construction began the following year and in September 1912 the county board formally accepted the new courthouse.
