Stephens County, Texas
Oil put Stephens County on the map. It’s in north central Texas, where the Cross Timbers meet the Rolling Plains. Breckenridge, the county seat, has seen boom times and lean years. You can still see old pump jacks.
Hubbard Creek Lake is a favorite spot for fishing and boating. The county is named after Alexander Stephens, but most folks don’t give that much thought.
Ranching is still big business here. Winters can be surprisingly cold, with ice storms not uncommon. The Caddo once roamed these parts. Now, It’s where small-town Texas comes to life.
