Quanah is northwest of Fort Worth, and south of the Red River, which forms the Oklahoma-Texas state line. South of the city is Copper Breaks State Park. ==History== Quanah was organized in 1884 as a stop on the Fort Worth and Denver Railway. The city is named for Quanah Parker, the last Comanche chief. The county seat of Hardeman County was moved from Margaret to Quanah in 1890 after an acrimonious battle that contributed to the splitting off of the southern section of Hardeman County as Foard County.〔Bill Neal, ''The Last Frontier: A History of Hardeman County''. Austin: Eakin Press, 1996, p. 50〕 The courthouse, constructed in 1908, anchors what is now the historic downtown district. The courthouse in Quanah, named after the last Commache chief, is engraved (CHILDRESS COUNTY COURTHOUSE). The courthouse was financed by a bond election approved by voters in 1906. The project architect was R.H. Stuckey of Chillicothe, Texas. It has both domed cupola and Ionic columns.〔Historical marker, Hardeman County Courthouse, Quanah, Texas〕 〔F〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quanah, Texas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
