Picture
Live Oak County is named for the Live Oak tree that grows in this region. George West is the county seat. I have to admit I don't have a great sense for this county, we have visited twice but really only while passing through to somewhere else. There are only 33 markers in this rural county but the Live Oak County Historical Commission havs an awesome web page to communicate and promote what is happening in the county. They add a couple of new markers a year which is no mean feat for a smaller county, as these markers are expensive and take some time to research and apply for. 
      There are several on private property in Live Oak County, we have yet to try and get to them so I'm not sure just how difficult this might be. I think the marker for the Town of Dinero is missing. I have written to the Live Oak County Historical to confirm. 
7th August, 2020 -  We picked up the Loma Sandia Primitive Cemetery on the way home from Corpus Christi, which did confuse me. We have looked for this marker in the past without success and then suddenly there it is shining in the sun on a major highway, no way we would have missed it the first time round. So when I loaded it on the website I realized that the text was not the same as it is listed on the Texas Historical Commission atlas, so with a little research I saw a picture of the marker by the same title with the text as listed, it looks to be much closer to the actual burial ground. So this leaves the question of are there two or was the first one replaced?
2nd February, 2021 -  I now have a much better feel for Live Oak County. We have moved to Portland Texas and Live Oak is one of the neighboring counties. We have taken a few trips recently, close to home counties. What is left in Live Oak County are markers on private property which I belive we will be able to visit. I don't believe Don Victoriano Chapa_Don Priscilliano Chapa marker is up yet and I'm still not sure if there are two Loma Sandia Primitive Cemetery markers. 
12th February, 2023 -  We ducked into Live Oak County briefly at the end of a longer trip. The Simmons marker was the last capture of the trip. We looked for Don Victoriano Chapa_Don Prisciliano Chapa at the courthouse without sucess. 
     What I'd love to is to capture is the markers on private property which would tidy up this county up and be very cool. As I've said before Live Oak County is very active and there are a  couple of new markers we have not visited yet.
