Mineral is an unincorporated community in northwestern Bee County, Texas, United States.

Mineral's first settler was Ross "Rust" Morris, who moved to the area from Montgomery County, Tennessee, and homesteaded near San Domingo Creek in 1836.

Anson Jones then granted 1,000 acres (400 ha) of land to Henry Coley's heirs from Tennessee nine years later.

It may have been caused by an oil spill in the vicinity or mineral deposits of bones from prehistoric creatures.

People then started to settle in the community when they were told that the water had "healing powers" in 1877 and was called Mineral City.

The excitement of the water's "healing powers" soon disappeared, most likely because the mineral content decreased when the well deepened in 1889.
