Taylor County, Texas
Taylor County sits in west-central Texas. Abilene, the county seat, is a city with a rich history. Dyess Air Force Base calls this county home, bringing a steady stream of new faces to the area.
Locals love the annual West Texas Fair & Rodeo. Buffalo Gap Historic Village gives visitors a taste of 19th-century Texas life. It’s hot in the summer. Really hot.
But the people are friendly, and the BBQ joints serve up some mean brisket. Taylor County’s economy relies heavily on agriculture, particularly cotton production. The county’s landscape is mostly flat, with rolling hills to the south.
