Discover the County
Fannin County
Fannin County was created in 1837 and organized in 1838, during the Republic of Texas period. It was named for James Fannin, whose command was killed in the Goliad Massacre during the Texas Revolution. Bonham, the county seat, honors James Bonham, another figure associated with that conflict. These names preserve connections to events beyond the county itself. Its northern location also places it within the Texoma region, where the Texas–Oklahoma border is an important part of the geographic setting.
Bonham State Park combines a lake with trails, camping and places to pause outdoors. Its trail system accommodates hiking and biking, while the park’s official visitor pages explain facilities and reservations. Choose the activities that suit your group and review current alerts before traveling. Time in Bonham can complement a park outing, but make separate plans for particular institutions or events. A county-wide itinerary is easier to manage when each stop has a confirmed destination.
