Currently the counties with the most sites are indicated by italics. How about changing the default sort order to descending number of sites instead? -- lizardo_tx ( talk) 15:31, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Nothing in this article mentions or explains what the table's column headings mean. ("# of Sites" and "# of NHLs") Steve Stair ( talk) 13:04, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
Currently each separate county is split out into a separate list-article, including many with just one NRHP site included, which seems ridiculous to me. There's ongoing discussion at wt:NRHP about splitting out differently. For Texas, I am wondering if using the state's defined 12 economic development regions would work. (Thanks to User:25or6to4 for making nice graphic of counties' counts of NRHPs!)
(Aside, first: there are 4 geographic regions which can be subdivided into 12 subregions, by this partition, but it doesn't break out by counties.)
Also there is quite a discussion and an elaborate partition of TExas proposed at WikiVoyage's Talk page for Texas
These 12 economic development regions are:
There are four big regions to the left side with sparse numbers of NRHPs spread across many counties (High Plains 118, Northwest 145, West 119, South 159), I would definitely like to combine the separate county list-articles into those four groups. The westernmost, Upper Rio Grande is okay to put into one group, too, though its smallest of 6 is just 5. That takes care of about 35 of the one-NRHP counties.
For the seven other Ec Dev regions, I am not so sure, as those groupings get large in count. There are only about 13 one-NRHP counties in these regions. Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin and some other cities could be split out to make them more manageable though. -- do ncr am 02:41, 7 July 2017 (UTC)
In 1968 Texas hosted the World's fair, known as HemisFair '68, in San Antonio, Texas. In connection with this boost in international attention, the Texas Department of Transportation designated ten 650-mile circular driving regions that encompassed the entire state of Texas. These trails saw little attention after their creation until in the late 1990s when the Texas Historical Commission adopted these trails as their Heritage Trail Program. The Texas Forts Trail was the first of the ten trails to be reinstated. [1] (from Texas Forest Trail article)

The NRHPs listed in broad districts' list-articles would be greatly reduced by NRHPs segregated out to city lists:
I'll start identifying the counties in each econ dev region, for this overall list article, at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Texas/ByEconDevArea. --Doncram ( talk, contribs) 05:56, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
