WELCOME TO TEXAS HISTORY 101.
King County, Texas
Created Aug 21, 1876, from Bexar county whose diamond shaped boundaries extended from the Rio Grande to the Panhandle to El Paso, named for William King, who died at the ALAMO. Chief industry, ranching, is a reflected in its famous brands: "6666", "Pitchfork", "JY","SMS" and "Matador".
A population of only 173 in 1890 was aided in formal organization by petitions signed by itenerants. Names of favorite horses were also added. Organization came on June 25, 1891 in establishing county seat. Cowboys voted for Guthrie, which won over Ashville, choice of the ranchers. (1965)
Jr. Daniels is the Sheriff of King county.
He once changed and patched a tire for us on a Sunday afternoon at the counties tool barn.(this was the second tire on our trailer we had blown out within a hundred miles. We were out of luck.) THANK YOU Jr. for helping us out and getting us on our way again. "Only in Texas."
