In 1855, many of these early pioneers had settled in the northern part of Gillespie County. For this and other practical reasons, the citizens of Llano appealed to the Texas Legislature for the authority to create a new county. On February 1, 1856, the act to create the new county was passed. On June 14, 1856, under a live oak tree on the south back of the Llano River was organized and Llano designated as the county seat. The early settlements of Llano County (1840's) were/are: Castell and Keyserville, Tow Valley, Bluffton, Flat Rock, Click, Lone Grove, McNutt, Valley Spring, Field Creek, Babyhead, Kingsland, Oxford and Prairie Mountain.
