Chambers Counties Texas United States
Chambers County was formed in 1858, made up from parts of Jefferson and Liberty counties. The original county seat was Wallisville on the Trinity, but the county seat was moved to Anahuac in 1908. The home that Chambers built at Anahuac had a window with the panes arranged like the Lone Star of Texas. In 1865, someone fired a shot from outside, killing General Chambers as he was sitting in an upstairs room. The gunman was never found. His home still stands.
