over fifteen years." - Terry Jeanson, June 2006 photo |

The county seat moved in 1925.
Reagan County has had three courthouses: 1904 and 1911 in Stiles,
and the 1927 courthouse in Big Lake.
A 1911 Courthouse is still standing in the former town of Stiles,
although it was gutted by fire in a case of arson, Christmas Eve,
1999. The shell remains. |
