A two-story frame courthouse (1857-1878) and later a stone courthouse (1878-1910) on this site served the county and provided space for public gathering. In 1910, the city of San Saba incorporated, and county residents, spurred by news of a railroad connection, authorized a new courthouse.

It serves as the seat of justice,
