Sheffield

Sheffield lies along the Pecos River corridor in West Texas, where the meeting of U.S. highways 290 and 385 has long made it a practical stop across the wide-open ranch country of Pecos County. The settlement was named for Will Sheffield, an early rancher and merchant whose store and post office helped establish the community in the late 19th century. South of the Edwards Plateau, the terrain opens into dry grassland and limestone country shaped by the region’s scarce watercourses and long-distance roads. Nearby Fort Lancaster Historic Site preserves the remains of a U.S. Army post founded in 1855 to protect routes through this frontier region.
