In North Texas, Young County is anchored by Graham (the seat) and Olney. Established in 1856, it was the site of frontier forts and cattle drives. Today, it is a rural-small town county, with Graham serving as a vibrant community hub. Housing includes historic homes, ranch houses, lakeside cabins on Possum Kingdom Lake, and suburban-style residences. Wichita Falls lies 65 miles north, and Fort Worth about 90 miles southeast. Homes range $170,000–$280,000, while land averages $5,000–$10,000 per acre, higher near lakefronts. Buyers include ranchers, retirees, and DFW-area second-home seekers.
