Fannin County

Fannin County stretches across rolling terrain and agricultural land between the Red River and Bois d'Arc Lake in northeastern Texas. The area includes several small communities and is managed through local government offices and service centers.

The county was established in 1837 and named after James Walker Fannin Jr., a military commander from the Texas Revolution. This naming honored his role in the region's early history and independence efforts.

The courthouse serves as a gathering place where residents come together for local events and community occasions throughout the year. It reflects how the county maintains spaces for people to meet and participate in public life.

County services and administration are located in central offices that are easy to access during regular business hours. The area lacks public transportation and major highways, so having a car is essential for traveling between communities.

The county features multiple reservoirs and water projects that have shaped its landscape and remain essential to the region's water supply. These infrastructure systems reflect long-standing efforts to manage natural resources for surrounding communities.
