In the northwest Panhandle, Hartley County is anchored by Dalhart, which it shares with Dallam County. Established in 1876, it has a history of ranching, railroads, and later farming. Today, it is a rural agricultural county, with Dalhart as the hub. Housing includes modest frame homes, ranch-style houses, and some newer construction near town. Amarillo is about 85 miles southeast. Existing homes typically cost $120,000–$220,000, while farmland sells $1,500–$4,000 per acre depending on irrigation. Buyers are often farmers, ranchers, or those seeking small-town living with affordable land.
