Foard County was created from adjacent counties March 3. 1891, and organized April 17, 1891. It is named for Robert Levi Foard, an attorney and American Civil War soldier. Foard County was one of 46 prohibition, or entirely dry, counties in the state of Texas until voters approved a referendum to permit the legal sale of alcoholic beverages in May 2006 Crowell is Its county seat. No towns were developed of any importance until the completion of the Orient Railroad through the center of the county in 1909, the nearest shipping points were at Quanah and Vernon, to which towns the farm crops and the cattle from the ranches were sent. A number of large ranches are still operated in the county, but the live stock industry has undergone many changes in recent years, and tin modern stock farming and diversified agriculture are now the chief resources. Other towns are Foard City, Thalia, Rayland and Margaret.
