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. In 1865 the county's government was dissolved, and the area was attached to neighboring Jack County for administrative purposes; the county records were transferred to Jacksboro. The county was reorganized in 1874 with the formation of Young Land District, and the county records were brought back from Jacksboro. This time the new town of Graham, platted in 1873, was chosen as the county seat. -Handbook of Texas Online: Young County |
