Red River County, Administrative county in northeastern Texas, United States.
Red River County is an administrative division in northeastern Texas covering a broad area of land. The waterway forming its northern border and another river system running through its interior shape the county's geography.
The county was established in 1835 and formally organized in 1837, taking its name from the river that served early settlers as a vital transportation route. These waterways made it possible to develop and connect scattered communities across the region.
Multiple independent school districts, including Avery, Clarksville, and Detroit, provide education services to residents across different parts of the county.
Visitors should know that the region is divided into several school districts spread across different communities. Infrastructure is best accessed by local roads, and a map or navigation device helps when exploring scattered towns.
The county experienced its highest population of 29,000 residents in the early 1900s but has since decreased to approximately 11,587 according to recent data.
