== Fun facts ==
* Opinions in the county about secession were divided. County residents voted by more than two to one in 1861 against secession, desiring to remain in the Union. The Great Hanging at Gainesville in nearby Cooke County in October 1862 was an attack on dissenters, men who were suspected of resisting conscription and having been Unionists. After 150-200 men were arrested by state troops, the military organized a so-called "Citizens Court", which had no basis in state law. Its jury made up its own rules and convicted and sentenced more than 25 men to death by hanging. Another 14 were lynched outright by a mob without even the cover of a trial. A total of 42 men were killed in the proceedings that month, considered the largest vigilante murders in US history.
* Tioga is known as the birthplace of western music legend and movie star Gene Autry, also known as the "Singing Cowboy".
* Preston and Sherwood Shores are popular fishing and recreational destinations thanks to them being on the shores of Lake Texoma.
