Stamford, TX

united states

Stamford is a small county seat in north-central Texas where US Highway 277 and State Highway 6 intersect. Most visitors drive up from Abilene, about 45 miles south on US 277, making it a convenient day trip into West Texas ranch country. The town sits in rolling grasslands with wide-open views in every direction. The restored 1907 limestone courthouse with its prominent clock tower stands as a prairie landmark visible for miles.
