Hansford County, County administrative division in Texas Panhandle, United States
Hansford County encompasses 920 square miles of land in northwestern Texas, where agricultural fields stretch across the flat terrain between Spearman and Gruver.
The Texas Legislature formed Hansford County in 1876 from Young and Bexar Counties, with the first settlement established by English brothers at Zulu Stockade.
The county experienced substantial demographic changes as Hispanic residents increased from thirty percent to nearly fifty percent of the population between 2000 and 2020.
County services and administrative offices operate from the courthouse at 16 Northwest Court Street in Spearman, providing governmental assistance to local residents.
Norwegian settlers created their own rural community called Oslo in the northern section of the county, bringing Scandinavian farming practices to Texas in 1909.
