Childress

Built around the Fort Worth and Denver City Railway, Childress grew into the county seat of Childress County on the southeastern Texas Panhandle. The city stands in Red River country, where the Salt Fork of the Red River shapes the wider setting of rolling grassland and cultivated fields. U.S. Highways 62 and 83 meet here, underlining Childress’s role as a service centre for this sparsely populated part of Texas. Established in 1887 as rail construction reached the area, the town retains a compact downtown focused on the Childress County Courthouse and local civic life.
