Ozona, County seat in Crockett County, Texas.
Ozona is the county seat of Crockett County in central Texas, serving as the administrative center of the region. The town sits on high plains surrounded by extensive ranching land that stretches across the landscape.
The community was founded in 1891 as Powell Well and renamed in 1897 for the clean air quality of the area. This name change reflected early appreciation for the region's natural conditions.
The Crockett County Consolidated Common School District maintains educational facilities, including Ozona High School with its accomplished sports programs.
Interstate 10 and Texas State Highway 163 connect the town to surrounding regions and provide good access for visitors. Travelers should prepare for dry heat and long distances between towns in this rural area.
A devastating flood in 1954 destroyed half the residential buildings and left a lasting impact on the community. The reconstruction that followed shaped how the town developed in the decades after.
