Welcome to Wheeler County Texas
Wheeler County was organized in 1876 in the Texas Panhandle, the first county in the area. Fourteen other counties were attached to it for judicial purposes until 1881. The county was named for Royall Tyler Wheeler, a Chief Justice of the Texas Supreme Court and the first head of Baylor Law School.
