A Brief History of Lubbock County
Lubbock County was created on August 21, 1876, by an act of legislation in Austin that divided Bexar county. Bexar County included parts of Northwest Texas and the South Plains and was divided into forty-eight counties. One of the newly formed counties, know as Lubbock County, was named after Tom S. Lubbock, a former Texas Ranger.
Formal organization of Lubbock County came on March 10, 1891, when an election was held for the purpose and Lubbock was made the county seat. At the time the county was formally organized, Lubbock was the only settlement except for Estacado, which was on the eastern boundary.
