Young County, Texas
Young County sits in north central Texas, where the rolling hills of the Palo Pinto Mountains give way to the prairie. Graham, the county seat, is known as America’s largest small town.
Folks here take pride in their ranching heritage. The Brazos River cuts through the county, providing water and recreation. Oil and gas production keeps the economy humming.
Possum Kingdom Lake is a big draw for boaters and fishermen. The county is named after William Cocke Young, a Texas Ranger and soldier. It’s a friendly place where neighbors still wave as they drive by.
