Harrold Named For Cattle Outfit In Vast Texas Panhandle
Harrold grew as a cattle hub near Red River with 1885 shipments of 40 000 head to Denver and 150 000 head received from the south. The arrival of the railroad shifted commerce to Vernon, leading Harrold to fade and new settlers to repopulate the area.
