Hale Center

Hale Center is best known on the Texas High Plains for cotton farming on the broad Llano Estacado plateau. In Hale County, on U.S. Route 87, it stands amid an intensely cultivated section of the Panhandle where cotton and grain production shape the annual rhythm; much of this agriculture relies on groundwater from the Ogallala Aquifer. Hale Center takes its name from Hale County, named for John C. Hale, a Texas Revolution soldier who died in the Goliad massacre. The flat horizon, expansive fields and long straight roads reflect a working landscape far removed from Texas’s hill country and Gulf coast.
