Crane County is located in the southwestern part of Texas and was created in 1887, but it wasn't organized until 1927. The county was named after William Carey Crane, a president of Baylor University. Spanning 786 square miles, the area primarily features rolling plains with low hills and draws.
Initially, Crane County was home to several Native American tribes, such as the Jumano, Comanche, and Kiowa. The county remained largely unsettled until the early 20th century. The discovery of the nearby Yates Oil Field in 1926 led to its organization and a significant rise in the population. The region soon became a hub for the West Texas oil industry, and it forged a strong relationship with the city of Odessa in Ector County.
Crane County's economy has been primarily driven by oil production, ranching, and agriculture. The county's first town, Crane, was established in 1927, and it is now the region's largest city and serves as the county seat. In addition to oil, producing crops like cotton and grain sorghum contribute to the local economy.
Fun fact: The City of Crane has become famous for its yearly Sandhill Crane Festival, during which thousands of Sandhill Cranes can be spotted in the area as they migrate during the fall and winter months. Visitors come from all over the country to witness this fascinating natural spectacle.
