History Of Abilene, Texas
McMahon Surovik Suttle, PC is a Texas Professional Corporation with offices in Abilene, Taylor County, Texas. Once promoted as the “Future Great City of West Texas”, Abilene owes its beginnings to a group of determined ranchers, land speculators, and the Texas and Pacific Railway. Taylor County was organized and Buffalo Gap was named the county seat in 1878. However, in 1880, as the Texas and Pacific pushed westward, several ranchers and businessmen arranged to have the railroad cross their own land in the northern part of the county and, thereby, bypass Buffalo Gap. As a result, a new town was born in 1881 and named Abilene, after the famed Kansas cattle town.
Now more than one hundred years, Abilene, Texas has grown to its present population of approximately 115,000, and its economy diversified from agricultural into oil and gas, banking, light industry, military, and service. Beginning with the acquisition of Camp Barkley in 1940 and continuing to the present with Dyess Air Force Base, Abilene owes much of its well-being to strong ties with its military community. Moreover, with 5 colleges and universities, a large medical center, and a host of museums, theaters, and musical venues, Abilene has established itself as an educational, medical, and cultural center of West Texas.
