| Oldham County was formed in 1876 and organized in 1880, and named for Williamson Simpson Oldham,
a Texas pioneer and Confederate Senator. At the time of its organization, nearly the entire county was a part of
the XIT Ranch. The county seat was originally at the town of Tascosa, which in the 1880s was one of the largest
towns in the Panhandle. As the railroads came through the county, however, they bypassed Tascosa; several new towns
and farms sprang up along the rail lines, and by 1915 Tascosa had a courthouse and almost no residents; the county
seat was moved to Vega, Texas that year.
