Miller County was first formed on April 1, 1820 and dissolved again in 1838. In 1820, the county essentially comprised what is now the area plus other areas in Texas. The first county seat was in John Hall House in Gilliland .

Preserving the county was not feasible at the time, as Mexico ruled most of East Texas and Texas did not declare its independence from Mexico until 1836, after the Texan War of Independence , and proclaimed the Republic of Texas . This republic was never recognized by the Mexican government. It was not until the Mexican - American War (1846–1848) that the "Texan question" was resolved.

On December 22, 1874, Miller County was formed again from parts of Lafayette County. It is named after each James Miller (1776-1851), the first governor of Arkansas - territory (1819-1825).
