Morton, Texas
Morton, the county seat of Cochran County, was established in the early 20th century but sits on lands that were part of the vast ranching territories of the 1800s. While the region’s Confederate ties were minimal, its post-war settlement by Southern families brought traditions that shaped the community. Today, Morton’s tranquil setting and agricultural roots highlight the enduring spirit of West Texas. Visitors can explore local landmarks and enjoy the quiet charm of this rural town.
