HISTORY |
|
Andrews County came
into existence in
1876 when the 15th
Legislature of Texas
created 54 counties
in the Panhandle and
South Plains. It was
named for Richard
Andrews, the 1st man
to die in the war
for Texas
independence in
1835. Prior to 1890,
the county was
inhabited primarily
by some
ranchers, military
personnel and
Indians—Anasazi,
Apache and Comanche.
By 1900 the
population had
reached 975 (mostly
farmers and
ranchers) with
two communities—Shafter
Lake and Andrews—in
the county. Andrews
becoming the county
seat through an
election held on
July 16, 1910. |
