Established in 1899, this Taylor County town originated in Jim Ned Valley (named for the famous Delaware tribe chief) and became a stop for the Abilene Southern and Santa Fe railroads. Many buildings from the early 1900s line the downtown area. Today, farming and agriculture are the community's main industries, and the railroad continues to run through town. Tuscola is a part of the Texas Forts Trail. A historical marker about Jim Ned can be found in town.
