County History
From Hutchinson
County Courthouse Historical Marker:
"Hutchinson County, named for prominent judge and writer Anderson
Hutchinson, was one of 54 counties created out of the District of
Bexar in 1876 by the Texas Legislature. It was not until 1901, however,
that the county was officially organized. That year a temporary county
courthouse was erected in the county seat of Plemons.
A permanent courthouse was built in Plemons
by contractor E. E. Ackers. Stinnett
replaced Plemons
as Hutchinson County Seat in 1926. The county courthouse was temporarily
housed in an office building in downtown Stinnett
in 1926 before this
courthouse was erected in 1927 at a time of major oil discoveries
in the area...." |
