Webster County

DID YOU KNOW ? ? ? HONEY GROVE ALMOST COUNTY SEAT

Honey Grove, Texas was once designated to be a county seat for a county to be named Webster County. The radical constitutional convention of 1868-69 made a declaration that seven miles should be taken from Lamar County and ten miles from Fannin County, and be formed into a county to be named Webster, with Honey Grove as the county seat. The organization was never made, and the declaration was forgotten.
