Foard County, Texas
Foard County sits in northwest Texas, part of the Rolling Plains region. It’s small. One of the least populous counties in the state, actually. Crowell is the county seat and is the only incorporated city.
This is wide-open country. The kind of place where you can see for miles. Ranching is big here and it always has been since the county was founded in 1891. The Wichita River flows through, providing water in an otherwise dry land.
Copper Breaks State Park is nearby with stargazing opportunities you wouldn’t believe. The county is named after Robert L. Foard, an attorney and Confederate major. People here are resilient. They’ve weathered droughts, dust storms, and everything else Texas has thrown at them.
