A small, sparsely populated county in North Texas, Foard County is anchored by Crowell. Established in 1891, its history is ranching, farming, and frontier settlement. Today, it remains overwhelmingly rural, with agriculture its primary driver. Housing stock is limited: small brick or frame homes in Crowell and scattered farmhouses. The nearest larger city is Wichita Falls, about 75 miles east. Home prices are very low, typically $60,000–$120,000, while ranchland averages $1,000–$3,000 per acre. Buyers often include hunters, ranchers, or those seeking inexpensive country property.
