Lingleville is a census-designated place (CDP) in Erath County, Texas, United States. Lingleville is located at the intersection of Farm to Market Road 8 and Farm to Market Road 219, 10miles west of Stephenville.
In 1884 R. P. Campbell opened a grocery store in his house in the hollow below what is now the townsite. Before a post office was established there, the community was called Needmore. It was renamed to honor John Lingle, who had settled there in 1874. In 1940 the town had the post office, four businesses, and 200 residents. From 1980 through 2000, its population was reported as 100.[1]
The climate in this area is characterized by relatively high temperatures and evenly distributed precipitation throughout the year. The Köppen Climate System describes the weather as humid subtropical, and uses the abbreviation Cfa.[2]
