Sutton County Courthouse was the site of all land transactions connected with the county’s development. A water well a few feet from the building was the first water here, where sheepmen watered their flocks and therefore chose the place as a home. On the courthouse site, the father of the founder of the townsite killed the father of one of West Texas’ most prominent families in an argument over watering sheep.
