Morris County, Texas
Morris County is a county located near the eastern border of the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2020 census, its population was 11,973. Its county seat is Daingerfield. Morris County is probably named for William Wright Morris, an early judge and planter from Henderson, also in northeast Texas. As of 2016, Morris County is no longer one of six entirely dry, prohibition counties in the state of Texas. Morris County is "partially wet."
In the nineteenth century, this area was settled primarily by European-American planters and farmers, many of whom brought African American slaves with them or purchased others to work as laborers on the cotton plantations they developed. Cotton was most important, but farmers also cultivated other commodity crops before the American Civil War. Eastern Texas was the region of the state with the highest number and proportion of slaves.
The area has continued to be mostly rural and agricultural. In the 21st century, African Americans comprise a significant minority in the county.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 259 square miles (670 km2), of which 252 square miles (650 km2) is land and 6.7 square miles (17 km2) (2.6%) is water. It is the fifth-smallest county in Texas by land area and fourth-smallest by total area.
A single room was first used as a courthouse. In 1882 a new courthouse was built, for $5,500. On July 19, 1971, a groundbreaking occurred for a replacement courthouse, scheduled to open in 1972.
As of the 2020 census, the county had a population of 11,973. The median age was 44.7 years. 22.3% of residents were under the age of 18 and 22.6% of residents were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females there were 93.1 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 89.5 males age 18 and over.
The racial makeup of the county was 67.2% White, 20.6% Black or African American, 0.7% American Indian and Alaska Native, 0.4% Asian, 0.1% Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander, 3.8% from some other race, and 7.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino residents of any race comprised 9.9% of the population.
Less than 0.1% of residents lived in urban areas, while 100.0% lived in rural areas.
