CROSBY COUNTY, TX — This week marks the anniversary of a pivotal moment in the history of Crosby County, Texas — a day that sealed the fate of the once-thriving town of Emma. On September 17, 1910, the residents of Crosby County cast their votes in a heated election to determine the future of their county seat.

COLEMAN COUNTY, TX — On this day in 1883 (Sept. 13), the quiet hills of west central Texas became the battleground for one of the most consequential disputes in the history of the American West—the Fence-Cutting War.

The fence cutters' actions were part of a broader struggle between those advocating for open grazing and the new ranching elite who were fencing off vast swaths of land.
