In North Texas, Knox County is anchored by Benjamin (the seat) and Munday, its largest town. Established in 1858, it has a ranching and farming heritage, with cotton and wheat as staples. The county is strongly rural, with Benjamin’s courthouse square as a focal point. Housing stock includes older frame houses, brick ranchers, and manufactured homes. Wichita Falls (90 miles northeast) is the nearest larger city. Prices are very affordable: existing homes usually $80,000–$150,000, while farmland trades $1,500–$3,500 per acre. Buyers include farmers, hunters, and those seeking inexpensive country living.
