History
Founded in 1858
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Haskell County was created from Young Territory in 1858 but remained unorganized for many years. The county was attached to neighboring counties for judicial purposes several times between 1860 and 1881, including Young, Jack, Shackelford, and Throckmorton. Haskell County was named after Charles Ready Haskell and finally became fully organized in January 1885.
