== Fun facts ==
* Prior to 1952, Gray County was primarily Democratic similar to most of Texas & the Solid South. The county only gave a Republican presidential candidate a majority before 1952 in 1928 when Herbert Hoover won the county thanks to anti-Catholic sentiment towards Al Smith. Starting with the 1952 election, the county has become a Republican stronghold along with the rest of the Texas Panhandle. This level of Republican dominance has increased in recent years, as every Republican presidential candidate in the second millennium has racked up 80 percent of the county's vote. Additionally, in the two most recent presidential elections, Democrats Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton have failed to win even 1,000 votes total in the county.
* Lefors suffered a flood in 1961, unemployment from the closure of several area carbon black plants in 1964, and a tornado in 1975. The town was nicknamed "Ghost Town" by its residents because of its small population and unoccupied run-down homes. Its population decreased dramatically.
* Gray County was the center of the White Deer Lands Management Company, which ceased operations in 1957. The history of the company is the theme of the White Deer Land Museum in Pampa, but company archives are at the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon. Timothy Dwight Hobart, the White Deer land agent from 1903 to 1924, was elected mayor of Pampa in 1927.
