      . Early-Day History Of Wilbarger County
      Wilbarger County's rolling plains are surfaced by sandy, loam, & waxy soils that support tall grasses, mesquite, & oak trees. The area that is now Wilbarger County was part of the buffalo hunting ground of the Wanderers Band of Comanche.

      The cattle trail which passed through Vernon, named by various Trail drivers stopped for, their supplies when en route North with their cattle. People, the "Longhorn Chisholm Trail, "The Western Trail," "The Trail to Kansas"& the "Fort Griffin & Dodge City Trail," was supposed to have been established in 1876 when Millett & Irwin crossed a herd near the later established Doans Crossing.

      Comanche & Kiowa Indians made Vernon their trading point. Just across the Red River from Doans adobe store was the Comanche & Kiowa Indian Reservation.
