Coke County Texas Its Rise From Territory to Agricultural Center
Coke County in Texas grew from a Tom Green county fragment to a distinct county created in 1889 with Hayrick as the original seat, later moved to Robert Lee. Bronte and Tennyson emerged as towns linked by the K C M and C railway later absorbed by Santa Fe. The region, though sparsely farmed, yields cotton and corn with soil suited to temperate crops and notable farmers like O C Ivey north of Bronte shaping its farming progress.
