== Fun facts ==
* Bowie is a moist county. Nash and Texarkana allow the sales of beer and wine within their city limits, but the rest of the county does not.
* Bowie was hit hard by the Great Depression like everywhere else. Measurable relief came late when the Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant was established in 1942. The base was active until 2009. The Red River Army Depot, opened in 1941, remains active. The two installations occupied almost 40,000 acres (160 km2) and provided job opportunities for thousands.
* A Love's truck stop is located in Leary.
* Red Lick is mostly a residential suburb of Texarkana.
* Maud and Redwater were sundown towns during much of the 20th century, but things are much better now, thankfully.
* Bowie County in the years leading up to the American Civil War was settled mostly by Southerners who brought their slave labor to work the cotton fields. By 1860, slaves outnumbered whites 2,651 to 2,401. The county voted 208-15 in favor of secession from the Union. While Bowie was never a battlefield in that war, it was nevertheless occupied during Reconstruction. Between 1860 and 1870, the population declined. The occupation, and the new legal equality of blacks, became a hostile situation that fostered Cullen Baker.
