The community soon acquired a bank, a mercantile store, a wagonyard, a school, a newspaper, and three saloons.In 1888, Carson County was organized, and Panhandle became the county seat. The area's cattlemen were reconciled to the arrival of farmers because they produced needed forage crops, such as hay, and introduced more families with eligible young women for the cowboy bachelors of the cattle kingdom.Panhandle was scandalized in 1897 after George E.
