County History and Geography

In the Piney Woods Region and the far northeast corner of the state, Bowie County was formed in 1840 from Red River County. Its county seat, New Boston, is on I-30, about 150 miles ENE of Dallas. Bowie is bordered by Texas counties of Cass and Red River, the Oklahoma county of McCurtain, and the Arkansas counties of Little River and Miller.

For sixty years after Reconstruction the economic base of Bowie County remained largely agricultural. Cotton was still the principal crop, and following the disastrous 1869 harvest of 2,990 bales, production of the staple expanded steadily, to a high of 30,520 bales in 1929. The production of corn, the principal food crop, ranged from the 1869 low of 104,805 bushels to a high of 929,954 bushels in 1909. For many of the county's residents, cotton provided a livelihood but not prosperity. Beginning in 1880, when the statistics were first compiled, each census recorded a higher percentage of farmers who did not own the land they farmed. In 1880, 36 percent of all farmers in the county were tenants, the largest portion of whom farmed on shares. By 1930, 64 percent of the farmers in the county were tenants.
