Region: Panhandle Plains
Founded in 1876 on Hords Creek, an area of rolling, grassy plains and wide
bottomlands. A typical frontier settlement, the first store was hardly completed
before a cemetery was laid out for the loser in a cowboy gunfight. Today, it is
the Coleman County seat. Replica of Camp Colorado in Coleman City Park
complex.
Coleman lies on U.S. 84, a segment of the Ports-to-Plains Highway connecting
the state's heartland to coastal ports.
The Coleman PRCA Rodeo is held annually, and the Fiesta de la Paloma is the
first weekend in October. Coleman also boasts abundant hunting of deer, quail,
dove and turkey. Fishing, boating and water sports on three area lakes.
Visit the Brandin' Wall, on the south wall of the Coleman County Chamber of
Commerce building.
