As of the 2010 census, its population was 416.[1] It is the third-least populous county in Texas and fourth-least populous in the United States. Its county seat is Sarita.[2] The county was created in 1921 from parts of Hidalgo and Willacy counties and is named for Mifflin Kenedy, an early area rancher and steamboat operator.[3] Kenedy County is included in the Kingsville, TX Kingsville Micropolitan Statistical Area, which is also included in the Corpus Christi-Kingsville-Alice, TX Combined Statistical Area. There are no incorporated municipalities in Kenedy County. In 1999, Hurricane Bret struck the county, but damage was minimal because of the low population. The Peñascal Wind Power Project was built near Sarita in the early 21st Century and is expected to slightly raise the population of the area. The King Ranch, of which Mifflin Kenedy had been a partner prior to 1868, covers a large part of the county.

PoliticsLike the rest of South Texas, Kenedy County regularly supports candidates from the Democratic Party. Its county seat, Sarita, is ranked as the most liberal city in Texas.[10] The Republican Party has carried the county only six times since the 1928 presidential election. Despite its Democratic leaning, the county has become competitive in recent years due to its low population, and no presidential candidate since Bill Clinton in 1996 has carried the county by more than a 20 vote margin. {{Hidden begin|titlestyle = background:#ccccff; |title = Presidential elections results }}
In statewide races for governor and the U.S. Senate, the county has slowly trended Republican. The last Democrat to carry the county in a gubernatorial race was Tony Sanchez in 2002, while Rick Noriega in 2008 is the last Democrat to carry it in a senatorial race. See also{{Portal|Texas}}
