Harrison County, Texas Information
Harrison County lies at the eastern border in the state of Texas, the county seat is Marshall and it was named for a lawyer and Texas revolutionary, Jonas Harrison. The population was 65,631 as of the 2010 census.
Settlement by United States citizens began in present-day Harrison County during the 1830s. In 1835, the Mexican authorities granted a dozen land grants to immigrants from the United States. After the Texas Revolution, the Congress of the Texas Republic established Harrison County in 1839, formed from Shelby County. Harrison County was named for Texas Revolutionary Jonas Harrison. The county was organized in 1842. The county’s area was reduced in 1846, following the establishment of Panola and Upshur counties. Marshall was established in 1841 and became the county seat in 1842. The area was settled predominately by planters from the Southern United States, who developed this area for cotton plantations and brought African-American slaves with them for labor or purchased them at regional markets. The planters repeated much of their culture and society here. East Texas was the location of most cotton plantations in the state and, correspondingly, of most of the enslaved African Americans. By 1850, landowners in Harrison County held more slaves than in any other county in Texas until the end of the Civil War. The census of 1860 counted 8,746 slaves in Harrison County, 59% of the county’s total population. In 1861, the county’s voters (who were exclusively white males and mostly upper class) overwhelmingly supported secession. Following defeat at the end of the war, the county was part of an area occupied by Federal troops under Reconstruction. The white minority in the county bitterly resented federal authority and giving the franchise to freedmen, who elected a bi-racial county government dominated by Republican Party officeholders. Republican dominance in local offices continued in the county until 1880, but the conservative whites of the Democratic Party regained control of the state government before the official end of Reconstruction. In 1880, the Citizen’s Party of Harrison County, amid charges of fraud and coercion, gained control of elected positions in the county government after winning on a technicality, which involved hiding a key ballot box. They retained such control of the county into the 1950s, aided by the state’s disenfranchisement of blacks at the turn of the century. In the 1870s the county’s non-agricultural sector increased when the Texas and Pacific Railway located its headquarters and shops in Marshall. It stimulated other industry and manufacturing in the county and aided the transportation of the important cotton crop to market. In 1928, oil was discovered in the county. Its exploitation and processing made a significant contribution to the economy. The Great Depression of the 1930s hit the county hard, decimating the agricultural sector. World War II brought an end to the depression. As the defense industry built up in major cities and on the West Coast, from 1940 to 1970, more than 4.5 million blacks migrated from Harrison and other Texas counties as well as from Louisiana, Mississippi and other southern states. They moved to the West Coast in the second wave of the Great Migration, attracted to new jobs in the expanding defense industry. The population of the county declined until 1980, when the trend reversed. White population increases by migration from other areas has resulted in a majority-white population. White conservative voters have become overwhelmingly Republican in the realignment of parties in the South since the late 20th century.
The total area of the county is 900 square miles of land, plus 16 square miles of water. The northern and eastern parts of the county are drained to the Red River in Louisiana by Little Cypress Creek, Cypress Bayou, and Caddo Lake. The other third of the county is drained by the Sabine River, which forms a part of its southern boundary. These waterways were critical to early transportation in the county. The county is also home to the nationally protected Caddo Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Adjacent counties are:
