Dickens County is located in the great state of Texas and was officially established on August 21, 1876. It was formed from the larger Bexar County and named in honor of J. Dickens, who died during the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. The county is located in the West Texas region and covers an area of approximately 904 square miles.
Initial settlements in the area began in the early 1880s, and ranching was the primary industry for the first few decades of Dickens County's existence. The county seat, Dickens, was established in 1891 as a supply center for nearby ranches. Throughout the 20th century, the region saw growth in agriculture, mainly focused on cotton production, which remains an important industry in the region today.
Additionally, oil and gas production was discovered in the county in the 1950s, and it has since become another significant source of revenue for the region. The population has remained small throughout its history, with less than 2,500 residents as of the 2010 census.
A fun fact about Dickens County is that it's home to one of Texas' historic "square house" ranches. The Matador Ranch, established in 1882, is known for its unique architectural design: a square building with four rooms surrounding a central hallway, each room having a fireplace. This historic landmark still operates today as a working ranch and also serves as a reminder of the early ranching history of the region.
