Haskell County

Haskell County is an administrative division in north-central Texas with agricultural land and gently rolling terrain spread across its expanse. Several highways cross through the area, connecting the scattered towns and communities within its boundaries.

The county was founded in 1858 and formally organized in 1885, taking its name from Charles Ready Haskell, who died in the Goliad massacre in 1835. This founding period reflects the region's development during Texas's early settlement era.

The agricultural roots show in the working farms spread across the landscape and in how locals gather for the annual county fair to celebrate their farming heritage.

The county is accessible via multiple highways, with US 277 and US 380 serving as main routes through the region. These roads connect the various communities and allow easy travel across the area.
