Needville was founded by August Schendel, a German immigrant from Washington County who in 1891 purchased a 160 acres tract of land from H& TC Railroad. In 1892, August Schendel established a general store in the area he named Schendelville.
Pottsville was first settled in or about 1870. The migration of settlers into Texas was at its peak around 1850 to 1860 but had not progressed this far due to the Indian population. Hamilton was established in 1858 but the election of Lincoln and the threat and eventual war pulled all the militia out of the area. In 1857 the Hamilton County Minute Detachment of Mounted Texas Rangers were stationed on the Cow House Creek 12 miles south west of Hamilton at Camp Hamilton.
