County History and Geography

In the Rolling Plains Region of north Texas, Jones County was formed in 1858 from Bosque and Bexar Counties. Its county seat, Anson, is on US-83/277, about 20 miles north of Abilene and 175 miles west of Dallas. Jones County is bordered by Haskell, Shackelford, Taylor, Fisher and Stonewall Counties.

Farmers and ranchers arrived in the county in the 1870s, and the area had 1,191 acres in cultivation by 1880. The population increased more than seven-fold during the 1880s, reaching 3,797 in 1890. In spite of occasional drought conditions, farmers grew cotton, corn, wheat, and oats. By 1900 Jones County had a population of 7,049 and 820 farms and ranches. Cattle ranching continued to grow alongside of farming. The county experienced its most spectacular growth between 1900 and 1910, when the population increased to an all time high of 24,299 and a total of almost a quarter million acres were brought under cultivation. This dramatic growth was made possible by the extension of several railroads into the county.

Oil was discovered in 1926 at the Noodle Creek oilfield southwest of Anson. While there was never a boom in the county, productive new fields continued to be opened in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, and by 1990 a total of 206,770,955 barrels of oil had been produced.
