Cochran County, located in the great state of Texas, was created on August 21, 1876, and organized on February 19, 1924. The county got its name in honor of Robert E. Cochran, a defender of the Alamo who fought and died during the Texas Revolution in 1836. Cochran County lies within Texas's high plains region, on the Llano Estacado or Staked Plains, close to New Mexico's border.

The area that comprises modern-day Cochran County was once inhabited by the Comanche Native Americans. Prior to the arrival of European settlers, the region was known for its buffalo herds and unexplored wilderness. With the arrival of Spanish explorers in the 1500s, movement increased in this territory, and as the United States expanded during the 19th century, settlers began discovering the potential of the region's good soil and ample groundwater for agricultural purposes.

The development of Cochran County took a leap forward when the Milwaukee Road railroad line was extended into the area in 1924. This favored the growth and settlement of the county's seat, Morton. Agriculture became the main economic driver of the area, with the county being known for its production of cotton, wheat, sorghum, and the raising of cattle.

A fun fact about Cochran County is that it houses the Cochran County Historical Museum, located in Morton, which captures the rich history of the region. The museum includes exhibits on the county's Native American heritage, artifacts from pioneer settlers, antique farming equipment, and memorabilia from the area's past, preserving the essence of life on the Llano Estacado.
