Presidio County has been through three county seats: Fort Leaton, Fort Davis, and Marfa. As it turns out, Fort Davis is the only county seat in Texas history to have served two different counties in its time. Part of the process of Presidio County assuming its current borders included carving away a portion of territory for Jeff Davis County in the north. There, the community of Fort Davis assumed the role of county seat. To take its place for Presidio County in the south, Marfa was then duly chosen.
The first courthouse for the county was in Fort Davis, even though that city is now part of Jeff Davis County. There are no surviving photos that I’ve found of the building, but this is a description of some value from the Texas Historical Commission:
