Editing Haskell, Texas (section)

==History==
Haskell was once the site of a watering place known as Willow Pond Springs. Thomas F. Tucker settled the site in 1879 upon the encouragement of his brother, a member of [[Randolph B. Marcy]]'s 1849 expedition, and named it Rice Springs. When Haskell County was organized in 1885, the town became the county seat, and Tucker became the first county judge. The town was renamed to Haskell the same year.<ref name="TexasHandbook">{{Cite web |title=Haskell, TX |publisher=Texas State Historical Association |work=Handbook of Texas |access-date=2 January 2024 |url= https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/haskell-tx }}</ref>

In 1906, the Texas Central Railroad reached Haskell from [[Stamford, Texas|Stamford]]. Haskell was subsequently incorporated in 1907.<ref name="TexasHandbook"/>
