The region transformed in 1874 after the Red River War, leading to Charles Goodnight introducing cattle ranching and establishing the million-acre JA Ranch in 1876.
English remains the primary language, with 92 percent of residents speaking it at home, while Spanish speakers represent about 7 percent of the population.
The county courthouse, located at 101 Trice Street in Claude, provides administrative services and maintains records for the 1,848 residents of Armstrong County.
