Montague County, Texas

Montague County sits up in North Texas, right on the Oklahoma border. It’s cattle country here. Bowie, the largest town, was once a stop on the Chisholm Trail. You can still feel that cowboy spirit.
The landscape is a mix of prairie and woodland. Lake Amon G. Carter is a popular spot for fishing and boating. Winters can be surprisingly cold, with the occasional snow.
The county has a knack for preserving its history. You can see it in the old courthouse in Montague. Nocona is famous for its boots and baseball gloves. It’s where traditions run deep. The people are friendly, with that classic Texas hospitality.
