A Brief History of Armstrong County, Texas
Armstrong County, in the central
Panhandleqv on the
eastern edge of the Texas High Plains, is bounded on the
east by Donley County, on the north by Carson County, on
the west by Randall County, and on the south by Swisher
and Briscoe counties. It is named for one of several
pioneer Texas families named Armstrong, though the sources
are unclear about which one. The center of the county lies
approximately at 34°58' north latitude and 101°20' west
longitude. Claude, the county seat, is in the north
central part of the county thirty miles east of Amarillo.
Armstrong County occupies 907 square miles of level plains
and canyons. The northern half is generally level, as is
the far southwest corner. The rest of the southern half of
the county is covered by the great Palo Duro Canyon.qv
The eastern end of Palo Duro Canyon State Scenic Parkqv
is in Armstrong County. The soil surface of rich deep gray
and chocolate loams supports abundant native grasses as
well as wheat and grain sorghums in some areas. The county
is crossed by three streams, the Prairie Dog Town Fork of
the Red River in Palo Duro Canyon, the Salt Fork of the
Red River, and Mulberry Creek, all of which run year-round
to some degree. Elevation ranges from 2,300 to 3,500 feet,
and the average rainfall is 19.98 inches per year. The
average minimum temperature is 19°F in January, and the
average maximum is 92° in July. The growing season
averages 213 days per year.
