Handbook of Texas Online: (2960 words)
Milam County (H-18) is in east central Texas 150 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico and is bordered by Robertson, Burleson, Lee, Williamson, Bell, and Falls counties.
The county was returned to conservative rule by 1869, and several of the men who had taken part in the interim government stayed in the county when the Reconstruction process was over, becoming respected members of their communities.
The number of fl residents in the county increased steadily, rising from 2,977 in 1870 to a high of 10,473 in 1900; however, because the volume of white immigrants was so great, the percentage of fls with respect to the total population fell from 33 percent to 25 percent in 1890.
