By 1903 enough people lived in Lynn County to call for its formal political organization. The county had been formed in 1876 and named for Alamo defender George Washington Lynn (or Linn), but it remained unorganized until 1903. In an election held on April 7 the county was organized, with the new town of Tahoka as the county seat. -Handbook of Texas Online: Lynn County (check spelling George Washington Linn) |
