Hemphill County, County in Texas Panhandle, US.
The county extends across 912 square miles of rolling plains, with the Canadian River flowing through its northern section and Canadian city as its seat.
Founded in 1887 and named after John Hemphill, the county emerged from territories previously inhabited by Apache, Comanche, and Kiowa tribes until 1875.
The county maintains strong agricultural traditions with wheat and sorghum production, while supporting local ranching activities across its extensive grasslands.
Two major transportation routes, U.S. Highway 60 and U.S. Highway 83, intersect in the county, connecting it to neighboring regions and major cities.
The Buffalo Wallow Fight of 1874, a significant military engagement between U.S. Army forces and Native American tribes, occurred within the county boundaries.
