History

Formed in 1876 from Young County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Lubbock County was created from Young Territory in 1876, initially not fully organized and attached to Young County for judicial and other purposes. Over the next 15 years, the county was successively attached to Baylor County in 1881 and then to Crosby County in 1887 for judicial purposes before being fully organized and detached from Crosby in 1891. Counties including Cochran, Hockley, and Lynn were attached to Lubbock following its full organization in 1891, but were gradually detached as they were organized themselves between 1903 and 1921.
