Snyder

Snyder straddles Deep Creek in western Texas, and this setting on a tributary of the Colorado River has given the Scurry County seat its place in the open, dry plains. Established in 1907 after the Roscoe, Snyder and Pacific Railway reached the area, the town developed as a rail link for surrounding ranches and farms. Energy production later became a major part of the local economy, alongside agricultural services. The enduring “Windmill Town” nickname recalls the importance of wind-powered pumps in a region where dependable water has long mattered.
