Wichita Falls

Wichita Falls sits on the Wichita River in North Texas, where the open Southern Plains meet a city shaped by ranching, oil and military aviation. The falls that gave the city its name disappeared in a late-19th-century flood; a 54-foot man-made waterfall in Lucy Park now recalls them. Downtown’s 1919 World’s Littlest Skyscraper, only 40 feet tall, is a monument to a notorious real-estate scam. Sheppard Air Force Base, a major training installation on the city’s northern side, remains central to local life and the regional economy.
