About Garden City, Texas

Garden City is a community of 334 people and the county seat of Glasscock County, 27 miles south of Big Spring. It began in 1886 as a post office inside a general store kept by a man named Gardner, who had come as agent for an Ohio land company. The office was supposed to carry his name, but a clerical slip by officials in Washington recorded it as Garden City, and homes and a school soon grew up around the store.

When Glasscock County was organized in 1893, Garden City competed for the county seat with New California and Dixie. New California won because it sat on ground that flooded less and had a dependable water supply, even though it held only two dwellings. The settlers then put most of Garden City's buildings on wheels and hauled them about a mile and a half to the winning site, and on April 5, 1893, the commissioners' court renamed New California as Garden City.

  • Twichell's first Texas townGarden City was the first community in Texas laid out by W. D. Twichell, a Minnesota-born surveyor who became well known for his work across the state.
  • Courthouse and jailThe county built a two-story stone courthouse in 1893, the same year the town moved. In 1910 a larger courthouse took its place, and the old stone building stayed in service as the county jail. The Glasscock County Courthouse and Jail is listed on the National Register.
  • The Garden City GazetteJ. Marvin Hunter, a noted frontier editor, started the Garden City Gazette. The paper came out from 1905 to 1913.
  • Oil in the 1950sBetween 1927 and 1943 the town held between 100 and 250 people, and by 1945 it had eight businesses and 200 residents. Oil was found nearby in the 1950s. The population never jumped the way it did in other West Texas boom towns, but the number of businesses almost doubled from 1947 to 1968, the year the population peaked at 300.
