Who We Serve...
The Amarillo Genealogical Society supports researchers across Texas State Genealogical Society District A and extends its outreach to neighboring counties in western Oklahoma and eastern New Mexico.
The Texas Panhandle consists of 26 counties in the northwestern corner of the state, known for their vast plains, ranching heritage, and deep historical roots. Anchored by Amarillo, the region includes counties such as Potter, Randall, Armstrong, Donley, Hutchinson, and Moore, among others. Together, these counties form a distinctive cultural and geographic region with a strong pioneer legacy.
In 1891, the area known as “No Man’s Land” referred to the Oklahoma Panhandle – an unassigned public territory that wasn’t part of any state or territory until it was officially attached to Oklahoma Territory in 1907. This strip of land later became the three counties we know today as Cimarron, Texas, and Beaver Counties.
Union, Quay, and Curry counties in eastern New Mexico offer rich genealogical resources. Union County, with its seat in Clayton, has deep ranching roots. Quay County, home to Tucumcari, is known for its Route 66 and railroad history. Curry County, anchored by Clovis, features strong ties to agriculture, railroads, and military families.
