History
Formed in 1876 from Jones County and Shackelford County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Fisher County was created on November 19, 1876, from Jones and Young Territory. The county was named after Samuel Rhoads Fisher. Initially not fully organized, it was attached to Shackelford County for all purposes, then attached to Nolan County for judicial purposes in 1881, before becoming fully organized and independent in 1886.
