== History  ==
 
==== Parent County  ====
{{TX County Histories}}
<blockquote>'''1846--'''Cass County was created 25 April 1846 from [[Bowie County, Texas Genealogy|Bowie]] County. '''County seat:''' Linden <ref name="Handybook">''The Handybook for Genealogists: United States of America'',10th ed. (Draper, UT:Everton Publishers, 2002).</ref> </blockquote><blockquote>The county was named for Lewis Cass, U.S. senator from Michigan. The county was originally named Cass County in honor of Lewis Cass, a United States Senator from Michigan who had favored the annexation of Texas. During the secession crisis Cass, who had formerly been known as a Northern man with Southern principles, resigned his post as secretary of state when President James Buchanan declined to defend the federal forts in Charleston, South Carolina. When word of his actions reached Texas, the name of the county was changed to Davis in honor of Jefferson Davis. The republican-controlled state legislature of 1871 changed the name back to Cass.<br><br></blockquote>
