| | Handbook of Texas Online: BAILEY COUNTY |
 | | Bailey and twenty-one other counties newly formed at the time were attached to Jack County for judicial purposes. |
 | | In 1881 jurisdiction of Bailey County was transferred from Jack to Baylor County; then, in 1887, to Hale County; and in 1892 to Castro County. |
 | | It has been said that Bailey County "is one of the few areas in the United States that can produce varying crops such as cotton, wheat, corn, grain, sorghums, soybeans, castor beans, hay, peanuts, cabbage, lettuce, peas, and beans." About 40 percent of agricultural receipts derive from livestock. |
