Crane County was formed in 1887 from land previously assigned to Tom Green County the same year. Crane County was attached to Ector County for administrative purposes until 1927, but with (according to one estimate) 6,000 oil boomers in the area by that time, the county was ready for organization. The town of Crane, bustling with as many as 4,500 fortune-seekers, was designated as the county seat. -handbook of Texas Online: Crane County |
