LANGFORD COVE
LANGFORD COVE: Asa Langford
arrived in the area in 1855 and purchased land--210 acres in Coryell
County and 750 acres in the unorganized territory in what was to
become Hamilton County in 1858. In January, 1860, a group of
residents of Langford Cove petitioned the Committee on County
and Country Boundaries in the Texas Senate to attach to Hamilton
County three square miles of Coryell County so that Asa
Langford, T. T. Ragsdale,
James Witcher, and Samuel Sneed would
live in Hamilton County. The petition was denied. Langford Cove
was about eighteen miles south of Hamilton.
