In the 1830’s pioneers began arriving in Northeast Texas and by 1850, many families from Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama were living in what would become Camp County. W.H. Pitts came to Texas in 1854 and the following year settled on a 200-acre tract of land most of which is within the corporate limits of the town bearing his name. Known as “Mayor” Pitts, he built a primitive cabin on his land and, as the county grew, his original patch in the woods spread out over many acres. Old County Courthouse -Camp He was a prosperous land County established 1874 owner and farmer. In 1973, in preparation for the Centennial celebration of Camp County, area residents held the first Pioneer Days of Pittsburg.
