Abilene

Built around a stop on the Texas & Pacific Railway, Abilene grew into a regional centre for West Texas. The city lies on the rolling plains of the Brazos River basin, where broad skies and dry grassland define the landscape more than dense urban development. Abilene is the seat of Taylor County and a university town, with Abilene Christian University, Hardin-Simmons University and McMurry University shaping its academic life. Downtown, the 1930 Paramount Theatre remains a prominent venue, while Frontier Texas! interprets the settlement era of the Texas frontier.
