On the Red River border with Oklahoma, Hardeman County is anchored by Quanah, its seat. Established in 1858, it has a strong ranching and railroad history. Today, it is largely rural, though Quanah provides schools and basic retail. Wichita Falls lies about 85 miles southeast. Housing includes early 20th-century homes, mid-century ranchers, and rural properties. Prices are modest, with existing homes usually $90,000–$160,000, while ranchland sells $2,000–$4,000 per acre. Buyers often include hunters, retirees, and farmers seeking affordable land along the Red River.
