Information on Young County


History of Young County (Taken from Handbook of Texas Online)

Young County was established by the Texas legislature in 1856 from lands formerly assigned to Bosque and Fannin counties and was attached to Wise County for judicial purposes until it was organized later that same year. The town of Belknap was chosen as the county seat and was a stop on the Butterfield Overland Mailqv route from 1858 to 1861. The county's early years were marred by conflicts between Indians and white settlers in the region.
