Kent County, Texas
Kent County sits in the rolling plains of Northwest Texas. Jayton is the county seat – a tiny town with a big heart. Ranching is the name of the game here, with cattle grazing a plenty.
The Double Mountains are a sight to behold, rising up from the prairie. This place has got history, too. Comanche tribes once roamed these parts.
Now, it’s all about small-town living and wide-open spaces. The county has its own museum, showcasing local artifacts and cowboy culture. Fishing is popular at Lake Alan Henry in the southwest. Folks here are friendly. They’ve got to be because there aren’t many of them.
