Region: Big Bend Country
Before 1925, only a lone boxcar occasionally stood on a side track at this featureless site. Then an oil driller named McCamey hit a gusher. In less than a year, McCamey was brawling boom town of 10,000 housed in tents and hastily constructed buildings. Much quieted today, McCamey, is still a center of oil activity and is a livestock shipping point for surrounding ranches. In addition, a growing number of wind turbine generators on the surrounding mesas make McCamey the wind energy capital of Texas. Geographically located on U.S. 67 and part of U.S. 385 La Entrada Al Pacifico Trade Corridor. McCamey is midway between I-10 and I-20.
