Throckmorton County, Administrative county in north-central Texas, United States
Throckmorton County spans 915 square miles of rolling terrain with red to black soils, intersected by the Clear Fork and Salt Fork of the Brazos River.
The Texas legislature established Throckmorton County in 1858, naming it after William Throckmorton, with the town of Throckmorton becoming the county seat in 1879.
The county maintains agricultural traditions through ranching operations and farming practices, reflecting generations of rural Texas heritage in the Rolling Plains region.
Three main highways serve the county: U.S. Highway 380, U.S. Highway 283, and State Highway 79, connecting residents to neighboring regions and essential services.
This Texas county stands as one of only four prohibition counties in the state where alcohol sales remain completely prohibited.
