Handbook of Texas Online: |
 | | Wellington, the county seat of Collingsworth County, is on U.S. Highway 83 in the south central part of the county. |
 | | The legislature validated the election, despite the fact that Wellington had not received the two-thirds majority necessary for a county seat to be located more than five miles from the center of the county. |
 | | By 1934 Wellington had paved streets, a sewage system, natural gas, four churches, a hospital, many gins, a cotton compress, an ice plant, a creamery, three banks, five produce houses, and a population of 3,570. |
