The original Greer County, Texas, covered the current Oklahoma counties of Greer, Harmon, Jackson, and part of Beckham; it also included parts of Texas counties Childress, Collingsworth, Hemphill, Lipscomb, and Wheeler.
WHY WAS IT FORMED?
The Old Greer County Western Heritage Association was formed to promote and support the western heritage of the area once known as Old Greer County, Texas.  The promotion and support consists of tourism, education of young people and sponsoring events relating to the western heritage of Old Greer County.

  HISTORY OF OLD GREER COUNTY WESTERN HERITAGE ASSOCIATION

After discussion by several people interested in preserving the heritage of the area once known as Greer County, Texas, they decided to have a barbecue on the grounds of the Greer County Museum, Mangum, Oklaoma, to see if there was any interest in forming an association for the purpose of preservation of the heritage.  At the barbecue the consesus was that an association should be formed.  At a following meeting in the fall of 2004 it was decided that representatives from all areas of Old Greer County should hold office.  On January 17, 2005, the by-laws were approved and a Board of Directors was elected.
