Carson County, County in Texas Panhandle, United States.
Carson County covers flat grassland in northern Texas with agricultural land and natural pastures throughout the region. The county seat of Panhandle provides administrative services and is accessed by Interstate 40 and U.S. Highway 60.
The region was originally Plains Apache territory before settlers developed ranching land during the 1880s. Established in 1876 and formally organized in 1888, it became part of Texas' expanding administrative system.
Ranching culture has deep roots here, with large cattle operations shaping the landscape for generations. Visitors can see the sprawling pastures and how this heritage still influences how settlements and communities are organized across the land.
The region is best explored by car as distances are large and public transportation is limited in the area. Visitors should prepare with water and fuel since services and facilities can be sparse in remote sections.
A substantial portion of the county contains a major military facility that manufactured shells and bombs during World War II. This installation played an important role in national war production and shaped the region's industrial history.
