Crane, Texas
Crane, the only town in Crane County, emerged as an oil boomtown in the early 20th century, but its roots trace back to early ranching communities of the 1800s. Settlers in the area often carried Southern traditions and values as they shaped the West Texas landscape. Modern-day Crane offers visitors a look at its unique blend of oil heritage and small-town charm. The town’s quiet atmosphere and connection to Texas history make it a notable stop in the Permian Basin.
