Parmer County, located in the Panhandle region of the great state of Texas, was founded on August 21, 1876, as a result of the Texas legislature designating it one of the state's 54 original counties. However, it remained unorganized until 1907, mainly due to its remote location, with few settlers occupying the land. It was named in honor of Martin Parmer, a prominent figure in Texas history, who served as a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence and was a Republic of Texas congressman.

The area was initially inhabited by Native American tribes, specifically the Comanche and Kiowa tribes, until the 1870s when Anglo-American settlement began. The first settlers attracted to the region were primarily ranchers, due to the vast grasslands that were suitable for raising cattle. In the early 1900s, as the railroad industry expanded, the county saw an increase in farmers who began cultivating the land for crops such as wheat, cotton, and sorghum.

Parmer County experienced significant growth in the 20th century, with the towns of Friona, Bovina, and Farwell serving as key trading centers. Farwell, the county seat, was established in 1906, taking its name from Lon C. Hill's famous battle cry "Farewell to Texas!" during the Mexican Revolution. Today, the county's economy is still mainly supported by agriculture, including crops such as corn and wheat, as well as dairy and beef production.

A fun fact about Parmer County is that it is home to the XIT Rodeo and Reunion held annually in August since 1936. The event, which takes place in the town of Dalhart, commemorates the history of the famous XIT Ranch that once covered portions of ten Texas counties, including Parmer. The celebration consists of a rodeo, parade, and various other festivities, attracting visitors from far and near.
