== Fun facts ==
* Goree is the site of the annual Bobby Boatright Memorial Music Camp, an event for aspiring Western Swing musicians of all ages to showcase their musical talents. The camp's namesake was a fiddle player who was originally from Goree. The camp was profiled in a story that aired on July 21, 2010 on National Public Radio's Morning Edition program.
* Knox City and Lyndon Baty were featured in a 2014 episode of Snap Judgment on artificial intelligence. Lyndon Baty of Knox City has been featured on the Today Show, ESPN, and Sports Illustrated, among other popular media outlets, for being the first kid in the USA (second in the world) to attend school via a robot.
* Knox City and Munday both have municipal airports. They also have very little to offer, with Munday having a golf course, a Dairy Queen and a Subway, each having dollar stores, sports complexes and public battle fields.
* Vera was originally known as White Flat; its name was changed to Vera in 1890 to avoid conflicting with a post office elsewhere in Texas. G. W. Ballard, the first postmaster of the community, named the community Vera after Vera Kellogg, the daughter of an early settler of the community. Vera's economy became based on cotton production around 1900, and the community gained a cotton gin in 1902. Vera had a school until 1960, when it merged with schools in Benjamin and Seymour. The community's population was 276 in 1990, but this figure fell to 50 by 2000.
