Terrell County: with an area of over 2,000 square miles and a population of
just over 1,000, Terrell is both the largest and least populated county to have
adopted a flag. McMullen County has fewer residents, but has not actually
adopted its flag.
Terrell displays a two-striped banner of white over red, with a blue canton. The
canton bears a gold outline map of the county; the white stripe is inscribed
"Terrell County" in red on two lines. The flag was designed by Tanner Helmers as
an entry in a contest open to the county's high school students at the time of
the Texas Sesquicentennial. The Commissioners' Court selected the winning entry
and adopted it on 13 January 1986.
