About Quail, Texas

Quail is a small town of 17 people in Collingsworth County, where State Highway 203 crosses Farm Road 1574, about 14.2 miles northwest of Wellington, the county seat. The town was named for the many quail that lived in the surrounding country.

Brothers W. I. and T. S. Atkinson brought the first families to this area in November 1890 and lived in dugouts on their homesteads. They were the first farmers in Collingsworth County to raise cotton, and by 1904 Quail had a cotton gin of its own.

“The grieving parents donated land for a cemetery, and their son was the first to be buried here.”
Texas Historical Marker 4141, 1986
