Culberson County, Administrative division in West Texas, United States
Culberson County is an administrative division in West Texas that covers expansive terrain with varied landscapes. Its northwestern section includes parts of Guadalupe Mountains National Park, where mountain ranges meet desert plains.
This county was established in 1911 and named after David B. Culberson, a soldier from the Civil War era. Railroad construction through the region brought significant economic changes and settlement growth.
The county population of 2,188 residents maintains strong Hispanic heritage, with over 75 percent of inhabitants identifying as Hispanic or Latino.
The county administration in Van Horn handles public records and documentation for residents. Visitors seeking official paperwork should contact local offices and check their operating hours.
