     Andrews County 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.

***UPDATE** I currently working on transcribing the Andrews County Marriage records1910-1995 and Andrews County Death Records 1968-1969. They are almost complete and will begin working on having those uploaded ASAP. Thank You for being so patient!
