Andrews County, Administrative county in West Texas, United States.
Andrews County is an administrative division in West Texas comprising a large expanse of land across plains and grasslands. The landscape features several natural lakes that dot the terrain and shape how the area appears.
The county was founded in 1876 and named after Richard Andrews, a soldier during the Texas Revolution. This establishment reflected the early settlement push into Texas's western regions.
The county's population reflects diverse backgrounds, with Latin American traditions visible in daily life and local celebrations. This mix shapes how residents gather and share community events throughout the year.
The county has local libraries and community centers offering resources and programs for visitors. The best time to explore is spring or fall when the weather is more comfortable for outdoor activities.
A radioactive waste disposal facility operates in the western part of the county and has been functioning since 2012. This specialized installation plays an important role in how the region handles industrial waste management.
