History
Formed in 1858 from Bosque County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Throckmorton County was created on January 13, 1858, from Young Territory and attached to Bosque County, though it was not fully organized at that time. For over two decades, Throckmorton was attached to various neighboring counties for judicial purposes, including Young, Jack, and Shackelford. Throckmorton County became fully organized on March 18, 1879, when it was detached from Shackelford County.
