The town of Mangum was named after Captain Aaron S. Mangum, from Atlanta, Georgia, a veteran of the Texas 'War of Independence', who received a land grant, 320 acres, from Texas. Capt. Mangum entered into a contract with Henry W. Sweet to locate his 320 acres in Greer County near the Western Cattle Trail and along the military road leading from Ft. Belknap to Ft. Elliot. Mr. Sweet was to receive a portion of the lots in the town site. He located the land in 1883, surveyed in 1884, returned with family and friends to settle town site. |
