Message from the Mayor & City Council

The City of Fort Stock

ton originated around the

Comanche Springs. This natural water feat

ure

was well known to the Comanche Natio

n, a

loose confederation of 13 bands. The warli

ke tribe had

been introduced to the horse by the Spania

rd explorers

and they became one of the most gift

ed mounted

"Calvary" in our young nations his

tory. They

dominated the area of two Countries and s

everal future

states from Durango, Mexico north to

present day

Nebraska.Their trail followe

d the grazing habits of the

American Bison, or Buffalo and Coman

che Springs

was the crossroads of their domain. This

location also

became the crossroads of the ultimate r

oute for the

Butterfield Overland Mail route from

St. Louis,

Missouri to San Francisco, California as

well as the

choice for freight traffic from San Anto

nio through

Paseo del Norte to California, and to

Chihuahua,

Mexico in the mid-nineteenth century.

Unlike the eastern United States whic

h in pre

Columbian time was a primeval forest, ar

id conditions

exist about 100 miles west of an imagina

ry line from

San Antonio and Abilene, Texas. Rainfal

l diminishes

drastically to less than 20 inches per year

to even less

in many parts of the Chihuahuan Desert in

Mexico and

the United States. Surface water was critic

al, few rivers

exist, and almost no timber. Access to na

tural springs

became a fight between the nomadic Co

manches and

Spanish and later Mexican people. After 1

836, citizens

mostly from the American South began to

migrate west

into Texas.The U.S. Army st

epped in to establish Camp

Stockton in 1859 to protect residents of St.

Gall and the

wagon roads. This post was abandoned

during the

American Civil War and re-established in

1867 as Fort

Stockton. The Fort was garrisoned by wh

ite officers

and predominately black troops which

the Indians

called Buffalo Soldiers. The post was deco

mmissioned

in 1886 when the Indian “problem” had

passed. The

mixed community of Hispanic, White,

and Blacks

flourished using the springs to irrigate th

eir crops and

some 30 other springs in Pecos County

for watering

stock on surrounding ranches.

Today, Fort Stockton is still a major c

rossroads

including several state highways and bus

y Interstate

Highway 10. A well-equipped air park an

d rail access

also exist. The dominance of agriculture

has declined

over the years. In 1928, a large pool

of oil was

discovered in eastern Pecos County. Late

r substantial

resources of natural gas were discovere

d with new

technology which is still ongoing. Now o

ur three main

industries are Energy, Energy, and Energy

. In addition

to Oil and Gas production, wind has been

exploited to

produce energy and solar power is a few

years off but

very attractive due to our 300 days of suns

hine.

Fort Stockton and Pecos County is blessed

with low

unemployment and a low-stress life

style. Our

businesses support our residents and visito

rs alike with

essential services to take advantage

of cultural,

recreational, and historic resources. Th

ree national

parks are a day trip away as are four state

historic sites,

and four state parks. Three spectacular mou

ntain ranges

provide visual alternatives to our arid lan

dscape. The

town itself is still home to numerous histori

c resources,

a wonderful swimming pool at the old

springs, and

numerous other attractions. It is a green oa

sis in an arid

setting of the historic southwest.

Annie Riggs Museum • Treasure of Pecos CountyThe Annie Riggs Memorial Museum

still keeps house with the past amid ex-hibits echoing yesteryear in PecosCounty. It is owned and operated by theFort Stockton Historical Society. TheMuseum is housed in an original adobestructure that was the Riggs Hotel (built1899) where Annie Riggs was the propri-etor until her death in 1931. Riggs purchased the hotel in 1904 with

the proceeds from the estate of her latehusband, the renowned gunslinger and allaround troublemaker, Barney Riggs, whowas shot and killed by Buck Chadborn(Annie’s son-in-law) in 1902. Hangingon the wall are Annie’s House Rules ad-dressing guests with no luggage, spittingon the floor and the “burning of light”unnecessarily. In the lobby, a stern-faced lineage of

cast iron bed in the guest room was or-dered from Sears and Roebuck in 1900for a cost of $6.75, including freight. Other rooms offer displays on the

area’s vast and diversified history. TheArcheology and Geology Room exhibitsthe tusks of a Columbian mammoth andrelated artifacts found at a site eight milesfrom town.

The city that was later to be named FortStockton grew up around ComancheSprings, at one time the third largest sourceof spring water in Texas and near CampStockton, established in 1858 and named forRobert Field Stockton. Comanche Springswas a favorite stop at the cross roads of theComanche Trail to Chihuahua, the San An-tonio-El Paso Road, the Butterfield Over-land Mail Route, and the SanAntonio-Chihuahua freight-wagon road.The post protected travelers and settlers

making use of the water supply at thesprings.

The Confederates took possession of thefort at the outbreak of the Civil War butabandoned it the next year. In 1867 the armyrebuilt the fort on a larger and more perma-nent basis and garrisoned four companies ofthe 9th U.S. Cavalry Regiment to protecttravelers and settlers from Indians. The 9thwas one of the new regiments organizedafter the Civil War staffed with black en-listed men known as “Buffalo Soldiers”.

Surmounting obstacles of harsh living con-ditions, low pay, and racial prejudice, theygained a reputation for tenacity and bravery.

Stationed continuously on the frontierduring the years of Indian hostility, blackregiments played a major role in the settle-ment and development of America’s west-ern frontier. When the 9th Cavalry wasmoved to New Mexico in 1875, ColonelBenjamin Grierson’s 10th Cavalry tookover the duties of protecting the westwardmigration and trade routes. Until abandonedin 1886, the fort provided employment forfreighters and laborers and a market forfarmers, cattle ranchers and merchants.

Business men purchased large tracts ofland for agricultural development planningto use Comanche Springs as a source of ir-rigation. In 1868, Peter Gallagher boughtthe land that included the military garrisonand Comanche Springs, platted a town sitenamed Saint Gaul and established twostores at Comanche Springs. By 1870, theSaint Gall region had a population of 420.

Pecos County, the second largest countyin the state, was established by the Texaslegislature in 1871 and Fort Stockton (St.Gall) became the county seat. The area isnamed for the Pecos River, which flowsalong the northern boundary of the countythat covers over 4,776 square miles. On Au-gust 13, 1881, the name was offically

changed to Fort Stockton.Located across from Zero Stone Park at

the geographical center of the county, thePecos County Courthouse was built in 1883and originally had a dome. The courthousewas substantially remodeled into its presentClassical Revival form in 1912. Since its early days, Fort Stockton has

had Hispanic roots. Cesario, Bernardo, andJuan Torres owned land near Fort Stocktonas early as 1867, when it was reported theyowned 4000 head of livestock, and had builtthe first acequias (water canals) that distrib-uted the water of Comanche Spring to thegrowing number of farmers. When FortStockton was erected in 1859, the Torresbrothers helped supply food to the Army.After the military post was abandoned on

June 30, 1886, and both the Texas and Pa-cific and the Southern Pacific railroads by-passed it, Fort Stockton experienced adecline. By then, however, it was rapidlybecoming the center for an extensive sheepand cattle ranching industry. Fort Stocktonwas incorporated on December 29, 1910.Pecos County’s developing economy was

reflected in its growing population, whichrose from 2,071 in 1910 to 3,058 by 1920.Several unsuccessful attempts to find oil in

Pecos County were made after the begin-ning of the twentieth century. The Yatesfield was discovered in 1927 and it was oneof the largest in the nation at the time andcaused a boom.Largely because of the oil boom, but also

because of the continuing farm expansion,the population of the county more than dou-bled during the 1920s, rising to 7,812 by1930. Following the Great Depression, thepopulation in 1940 was 8,185.Tourism and new discoveries of petro-

leum and natural gas helped the economy inPecos County to grow in the 1950s and1960s. In 1952 the largest gas field in the

county was opened on the M. C. Puckettand Son Ranch, south of Fort Stockton. Thepopulation increased to 14,618 by 1980. In the 1980s the economy of Pecos

County continued to be based on farming,ranching, oil and gas production, andtourism. As the county seat and petroleumdistribution center, Fort Stockton’s popula-tion in 2010 was 8,283.
