== Fun facts ==
* The McCulloch County Electric Reservation is located north of Brady.
* Rodeo performer and promoter Dan Collins Taylor was born in Doole in 1923, and died there in 2010. For nearly a half-century, he was a chute director at the Cheyenne Frontier Days in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
* Currently there is only one original building standing in the Town of Mercury. It is the Bank Of Mercury building that was built by Thomas Jefferson Beasley in 1903 as a bank and mercantile store. Through the years the building has exchanged hands several times, however in 2012 the Grandson of the original owner, Thomas Lee Beasley purchased the building and is currently trying to preserve the remainder of the building. The only thing that remains of the building are the four outer walls and the vault that Thomas Jefferson Beasley built. It is rumored that the vault has a dome that is filled with sand. Thomas Jefferson's theory was that if someone were to blow the safe, the top would collapse and cover everything in sand. By the time the would-be thieves got to anything everyone in town would be there to see what was going on.
* The geographical center of Texas lies within McCulloch County, near Brady.
* Tenant farming in the county peaked at 60% in the 1930s.

A county prisoner-of-war camp was set up in 1943; it housed members of Rommel's Afrika Corps, the S.S., and the Gestapo. Crockett State School took over the former POW camp in 1946, and used it as a training school for delinquent black girls.
