Brief History from
wikipedia:
Comanche County was first
politically organized in 1873; however, this
was fraudulently done. Bogus records showed
a
population in the county when in fact
none existed. The creation of a false
population allowed the legislature to
organize
the county and float bonds. The
attorney general, however, investigated and
declared there was no population. Even so,
the
legislature declared a legal
government had issued the fraudulent bonds,
and this held the county back from any
funding for
improvements. In the Legislature of
1874 the county was represented even though
it had no population. On February 27,
1885, the county was reorganized and
lawsuits were begun against those holding
the original bonds. It was not until 1941
that the bonds were completely
retired. The county contains the cities of
Coldwater, Wilmore and Protection.
