Handbook of Texas Online: |
 | | Lee County (K-18), in the Claypan area of southeast Central Texas east of Austin, is bordered by Bastrop, Williamson, Milam, Burleson, Washington, and Fayette counties. |
 | | Though population figures for the area that later became Lee County are unavailable for the antebellum period, statistics for the surrounding counties suggest that the population grew fairly rapidly between 1850 and 1860. |
 | | Farms in the county increased from 1,095 in 1880 to 1,699 in 1890 and 2,266 in 1900. |
