The first settlers arrived in Kirvin in 1851. The town was founded by James Kirvin and his brother-in-law, John Hill. Kirvin was originally named " Hillville". In 1853, the brothers decided to rename the town after their father, James Kirvin Sr., who had died two years earlier.

In 1881, the railroad came to Kirvin and began to bring people and businesses into the town. This helped spur growth in the area and led to an increase in real estate prices. By 1900, there were over 100 businesses in Kirvin; many of which were related to agriculture or railroads.

Today, real estate remains a major part of the economy in Kirvin. Many homes are still owned by farmers or ranchers who use them as weekend getaways or for raising livestock. There is also a growing number of retirees who are choosing to live in close proximity to Austin while enjoying all that this vibrant city has to offer."
