History

Formed in 1876 from Jack County

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

Parmer County was created from Young Territory on November 19, 1876, and named after Martin Parmer. The county was not fully organized initially and remained attached to Jack County, then Wheeler County, then Oldham County, and finally Deaf Smith County for various purposes until it was fully organized on May 7, 1907.
