McLennan County was established by
the Texas legislature on January 22, 1850, and named for
Neil McLennan, one of the early settlers. The
county government was organized in August 1850 with Waco
as its county seat. The county originally included its
present area, as well as the land to the northwest as
far as the northern boundary of the Robertson colony; it
was reduced to its present size in 1854, when Bosque
County was established.1
