== Fun facts ==
* Until after 1900, the county contained primarily nomadic buffalo hunters and a few scattered ranchers. Yoakum County was organized in 1907, and the population increased to 602 because of the sale of state land deeds.
* The first oil well in the county gushed in 1935. Denver City benefited with a resulting boom economy. By January 1, 1991, almost 1,664,036,000 barrels (264,560,600 m3) of oil had been taken from county lands since 1936.
* The Yoakum County Electric Mills are located east and north of Plains.
* Plains is the birthplace of Clyde "Bulldog" Turner, inducted into the Professional Football Hall of Fame for the Chicago Bears.
* The Yoakum County Swimming Pool is located in Plains. And the town itself has very little else to offer, other than a landing strip, Dairy Queen, Subway, a few local restaurants and businesses, a sports complex, and a few public battle fields. But that's about it.
