Schleicher County, Texas
Schleicher County is pure West Texas. It’s where the Edwards Plateau starts to give way to the Chihuahuan Desert. Eldorado is the county seat. It’s a small town with a big sky.
Ranching is the lifeblood of the county. You’ll see more sheep and goats than people most days. The county is named after Gustav Schleicher, a German immigrant and Texas politician.
Oil and gas have brought new life to the area. But it still feels wild and open. The night sky here is incredible. Stargazers love it. Schleicher County is off the beaten path. That’s part of its charm.
