It was named for Stephen Crosby, a Texas land commissioner during the mid-nineteenth century. In 1876 the Texas legislature formed Crosby County from lands previously attached to the Young and Bexar districts. Crosby County was formally organized after elections held in 1886, with Estacado (the new name of the town formerly called Marietta) designated as the county seat. -Handbook of Texas Online: Crosby County |
