Fannin County

Fannin County is a county in the far northeast of the U.S. state of Texas, on the border with Oklahoma. Its county seat is Bonham. The county has a total area of 899 square miles and as of the 2010 census, its population was 33,915.

The average annual rainfall is a little over forty-three inches. The land is drained by the Red River and Bois D'Arc Creek and is watered by numerous springs.

The natural flora consists of oak, hickory, ash, walnut, pecan, cottonwood, elm, cedar, and Bois D'Arc trees, as well as redbud, spicewood, dogwood, pawpaw, and dwarf buckeye. The main natural resource is timber; consequently, wood-product manufacture has been important in the local economy.
