Located in Tom Green County, Vancourt is a farming and ranching community. William C. Dickey and his wife Ida opened the area's first business during the 1800s – a stage station where exhausted horses and other animals could be replaced by fresher ones. W. S. Kelley established the town's post office and named it after his wife Mary Ann Van Court. In 1907, White Swan School moved from its location outside Vancourt and established itself within the town's perimeter. The 1920s brought about the construction of a cotton gin and a brick schoolhouse. The population has declined from 125 people in 1980 to 64 in 2016.
