Region: Panhandle Plains
The seat of Lipscomb County, near the Texas-Oklahoma border, was founded in
1868 by J.W. Arthur in anticipation of the coming railroad. Today, it functions
as the county's center for farming and ranching along with oil and gas
explorations.
A favorite spot for birders and photographers, the city is surrounded by the
Canadian Breaks Loop portion of the Panhandle Plains Wildlife Trail. www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/wildlife_trails.
