Vega

Built around a railroad stop, Vega grew into the county seat of Oldham County on the Texas Panhandle. The town sits on the High Plains, south of the Canadian River, where broad grassland and cultivated fields give the horizon its open scale. The former alignment of Route 66 passes through Vega, placing it on the long cross-country road that linked Chicago and Los Angeles. The historic Magnolia service station recalls the highway era, while the Oldham County Courthouse anchors the civic center. Vega remains a practical stop for travelers crossing the Panhandle rather than a resort town.
