of the First Lamb County CourthouseCreated
in 1876, Lamb County was unorganized until it could muster 21 qualified voters,
1908. Citizens donated labor for first 9-room frame courthouse, which served until
it burned in 1922.
First county officials were: Judge H. R. Miller; Commissioners,
J. A. Hooper (Precinct No. 1), Claude E. Halsell (No. 2), G. M. Arnett (No. 3),
Walter Sullivan (No. 4); sheriff, Herb Dickenson; clerk, George Gallaway; treasurer,
Fred Schreier; assessor, Luther Williams.
A new courthouse of brick and
concrete was built here, 1922-23. After a 1946 election, the county seat was removed
to Littlefield. | |
