== Fun facts ==
* On March 23, 1945, a rancher on the Barney Davis Ranch, 8 miles north of Woodson, Ivan Miller, found a balloon bomb in his field. The war in Europe was coming to an end, so attention was turned to finishing the job against the Japanese in the Pacific. However, the balloons obviously failed, as one ended up in a local field and the other was in Eastland County’s Desdemona. Japan released over 9,000 hydrogen-filled balloons with antipersonnel and incendiary ordnance attached, and released them in the jetstream. Miller’s widow recalled later that he described the balloon to be “as big around as a house,” with a large rising sun painted on its top and several smaller versions around the bottom. About 360 bombs were eventually found in North America, though government officials requested that all pieces be returned.
* Bob Lilly, a Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys (1961–74), was born in Olney in 1939 and raised in Throckmorton; he attended its schools until 1956. Because of the 1950s drought, his family moved to Pendleton, Oregon, where Lilly went to Pendleton High School for his senior year. He returned to Texas in 1957 and played college football at TCU in Fort Worth.
* Throckmorton County is one of six prohibition, or entirely dry, counties in the state of Texas.
