Crane County was formed in 1887 from land previously assigned to Tom Green County the same year. Scant rainfall discouraged settling the county. The first, and only, city of Crane County, Crane, was established in 1908. The discovery of oil in 1926 led to the county being organized the following year, and led to Crane's development as an oil boomtown.
Crane County was attached to Ector County for administrative purposes until 1927.
