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. |
