In West Texas, Jones County is anchored by Anson (the county seat), with Stamford as its largest town. Established in 1881, it developed with ranching, farming, and railroads. Today, it remains rural-small town, though Abilene (just 20 miles south) influences the local economy. Housing includes historic cottages, brick ranchers, and manufactured housing. Existing homes typically range $100,000–$180,000, while farmland sells $2,000–$4,500 per acre. Buyers include commuters to Abilene, farmers, and families seeking affordable small-town living.
