History

Real County was organized in 1913 from parts of Edwards, Kerr and Bandera counties, with Leakey as its seat, and after years of dispute over the county-seat location, voters approved bonds for a permanent courthouse. Architect Henry A. Reuter designed the 1918 building, with the firm of McCreary and Schott as contractors. His Classical Revival design uses rusticated bands of locally quarried limestone to give the courthouse a fortress-like solidity; it was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 2000.
