A Traveler's Guide to Wichita Falls

Wichita Falls is a city that is located in the northern portion of the US state of Texas. Texas is located on the central portion of the southern border between the United States and Mexico. It is the largest state in the continental US by land mass. Wichita Falls is the seat of government for Wichita County and the largest city in the county. English is the primary spoken and written language in Wichita Falls.

The area was first settled by Americans in the 1860's when ranchers came to the area to build cattle ranches. The city was partitioned off into lots and sold in 1872, which is considered to be the official beginning of the city. The railroads arrived soon and the stockyards of Wichita Falls produced more beef livestock than almost any other stockyards in the nation. Today the city still retains some of its economic heritage, but it has also built several shopping centers and downtown facilities for businesses.
