History
in a Pecan shell
Hansford lost population and businesses to Spearman when the railroad arrived
in late 1919, and more importantly, an election (1929) deciding which town would
be the county seat.
All that remains of Hansford today is the cemetery
which up until 1928 was the only cemetery in the county.
The former Hansford
County Courthouse (1889) in Hansford was built of brick shipped in from Dodge
City, Kansas - the main supply point for the Northern Panhandle. |
