Established by Thomas O. Moore in 1872, Proctor is located in eastern Comanche County. The town was named after his friend Alexander Watson Proctor whom he formed a partnership with to start the mercantile building. In the early 1890s, the community was moved nearer to the railroad. The old Proctor subsequently disappeared when Alex Chisholm bought the site to use as ranchland. By 1891, Proctor became a shipping center and was even at one time considered for the county seat. After the boll weevil wiped out cotton as an important crop around Proctor, peanut cultivation and dairying became important in agriculture.
