}}Lamar County is a county located in the U.S. state of Texas, in the Northeast Texas region of the state. As of the 2010 census, its population was 49,891.[1] Its county seat is Paris.[2] The county was formed by the Congress of the Republic of Texas on December 17, 1840 and organized the next year.[3][4] It is named for Mirabeau Buonaparte Lamar, the second president of the Republic of Texas.[5]

Lamar County comprises the Paris, TX Micropolitan Statistical Area.

The majority-white population supported the Democratic Party well into the late 20th century, when it was nearly a one-party state. But in the early 21st century, most have shifted to the Republican Party. Lamar County is now represented in the Texas House of Representatives by Gary VanDeaver of New Boston, Texas.[6] Republican US Representative Marsha Farney, reared in Lamar County, represents District 20, which includes the northern portion of Williamson County in the Austin suburbs.
