Wilbarger County is located in the northern part of Texas, and it was established in 1858, named in honor of Josiah Pugh Wilbarger and Mathias Wilbarger, two early Texan settlers and brothers. However, it wasn't officially organized until 1881. The area was initially inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Comanche, Wichita, and Kiowa.
The arrival of the Fort Worth and Denver Railway in the early 1880s led to a significant increase in the county's population and economic growth. The city of Vernon was established as the county seat in 1881, and agricultural activities became the backbone of the region's economy. Cotton farming, ranching, and wheat cultivation were the primary agricultural activities, but oil production also contributed to the county's growth in the latter half of the 20th century.
A fun fact about Wilbarger County is that it holds an annual event called the "Santa Rosa Roundup," which began in 1946. This event is a popular rodeo showcasing various competitions, performances, and a parade celebrating the county's rich Western heritage and ranching culture.
