Scurry County

Scurry County is an administrative division in western Texas with Snyder serving as its main center and seat of government. The county encompasses flat to gently rolling terrain dotted with farms, ranches, and communities connected by rural highways.

The county was created in 1876 and officially organized in 1884, when W.H. Snyder established a trading post that developed into the county seat. This early foundation shaped the region's administrative structure and economic patterns for generations.

Western Texas College in Snyder provides higher education opportunities while maintaining the educational foundation of this Texas county community.

Visitors find administrative offices and public services concentrated mainly in Snyder, where most government buildings and facilities are located. Travel between communities requires personal transportation, as the county is spread across a wide rural area.

Lake J.B. Thomas lies within county boundaries and serves as a significant reservoir supporting the region's water needs. This body of water plays a key role in sustaining agricultural and municipal operations across the area.
