Sweetwater, Railroad town in Nolan County, Texas.
Located at an elevation of 661 meters, Sweetwater extends across rolling plains with streets arranged in a grid pattern around the central courthouse.
The Texas and Pacific Railway's arrival in 1881 established Sweetwater as a primary transport hub, leading to its designation as Nolan County's administrative center.
The National WASP WWII Museum at Avenger Field preserves the legacy of Women Airforce Service Pilots who trained in Sweetwater during World War II.
The municipal offices, including police and fire departments, operate from 200 East 4th Street, with regular business hours from Monday through Friday.
Every March, Sweetwater holds the Rattlesnake Roundup, which brings together thousands of participants for snake handling demonstrations and educational programs.
