The White River and its tributaries drain the eastern part of the county. The county has 900 square miles of land and 1.5 square miles of water.<\/p>\n Crosby County borders Floyd County to the north, Motley County to the northeast, Dickens County to the east, Kent County to the southeast, Garza County to the south, Lynn County to the southwest, Lubbock County to the west, and Hale County to the northwest. Live pages exist for Motley County<\/a>, Kent County<\/a>, Lynn County<\/a>, and Hale County<\/a>.<\/p>\n Crosby County had 5,133 residents at the 2020 census. Ralls (1,665) and Crosbyton (1,492) are the two largest communities. Median household income in the county runs well below the Texas median of $75,780, reflecting the county’s dependence on agriculture and a shrinking working-age population. Population density is about 5.7 people per square mile, one of the lowest in the South Plains.<\/p>\n Cotton and grain sorghum farming, cattle ranching, and oil production anchor the local economy. Crosbyton ISD and Ralls ISD are the county’s largest public employers outside agriculture. The county fair and area rodeo events remain the main annual community gatherings.<\/p>\n Crosby County was created from the Bexar and Young territories in 1876 and formally organized in 1886. Both the county and its seat, Crosbyton, are named for Stephen Crosby, a 19th-century Texas land commissioner. Oil was discovered in the county in 1955, briefly boosting the local economy beyond its farming and ranching base.<\/p>\n U.S. Routes 62 and 82 and State Highways 114 and 207 cross the county.
