Martin County

Martin County is an administrative division stretching across western Texas with flat plains and farmland that shape the local landscape. The county seat in Stanton handles essential services like property taxes, vehicle registration, and permit processing for residents.

The Texas legislature established Martin County in 1876 as an administrative district to support local governance and regional development. This creation allowed for better organization of the growing area.

The county administration holds regular town meetings where residents gather to discuss community matters and shape local decisions together. These gatherings reflect how the community stays connected in this rural area.

The flat, open landscape is best explored by car since distances between towns are considerable. Plan your route ahead and pack what you need, as services can be far apart in this rural region.

Oil and gas production has shaped the local economy and shaped how the region developed and functions today. This industry remains a major employer and revenue source for the area.
