Return to Index History & History Related Items Pecos history: Pecos was first knowen as Pecos Station, then Pecos City, and finally Pecos. The city began, as many of the west Texas communities, as a railroad town when a depot was built for the Texas and Pacific Railway. Eventually, Interstate 20 and U.S. Highway 80 were built linking all the small towns. Pecos became a center for the area for production of many crops including cotton and cataloupes. Underground irrigation was a big factor in the early growth. When Reeves County was created, Pecos was named the new county seat. Sulfur mining in nearby areas during the 1960s helped to increase both the population and the economy. During the 1990s, the mining was stopped and with the shut-down, growth began to cease and even reverse. The area still remains an agricultural center for the area.
