North Abilene

Tucked into the rolling plains of West Texas, North Abilene is a place whose character is shaped by a semi-arid climate and Abilene’s railroad origins. It forms part of Abilene, the Taylor County seat, a regional service and education centre founded in 1881 after the arrival of the Texas & Pacific Railway. Lake Fort Phantom Hill lies north of the city on Elm Creek, adding a broad waterway to the dryland setting. Downtown Abilene preserves the 1930 Paramount Theatre, an Art Deco landmark still used for films and performances. The city is also closely associated with Dyess Air Force Base, home to the 7th Bomb Wing. See how North Abilene fits within the wider West Texas area by browsing webcams nearby.
