Pecos County, located in the western part of Texas, has a rich historical background. Its name is derived from the Pecos River, which forms its eastern boundary. The county was officially created on January 3, 1871, and Fort Stockton, the county seat, was established in 1883.
Before European exploration, the area was inhabited by Native American tribes, including the Jumano, Mescalero, and Comanche. From the 16th to the 18th centuries, the land was explored by Spanish explorers and missionaries, including Antonio de Espejo, Juan de Onate, and Francisco Vazquez de Coronado.
With the arrival of Anglo-Americans in the 19th century, cattle ranching, sheep herding, and farming became prominent activities in Pecos County, transforming the economy and population. The development of the railroads in the late 19th century further spurred growth, connecting the small settlements and notably creating Sheffield, a railroad-based town.
Pecos County became an essential site for energy production in the 20th century, with the discovery of large natural gas reserves and the construction of major energy infrastructure projects. The first solar plant in the state of Texas, Fort Stockton Solar Facility, was established in Pecos County in 2011.
