Comanche County, County administrative division in Central Texas, United States.
Located on the Edwards Plateau, Comanche County extends across 948 square miles with rolling hills and contains Proctor Lake within its boundaries.
The Texas legislature formed Comanche County from Coryell and Bosque counties in 1856, naming it after the Comanche Native American tribe.
The Comanche Chief newspaper, established in 1873, continues to serve as a primary source of local information for county residents.
The county maintains several transportation routes, including U.S. Highway 67, State Highway 16, and the Comanche County-City Airport northeast of Comanche.
Cotton farming dominated the county economy until the boll weevil crisis, leading farmers to transition to peanut cultivation in the early 1900s.
