About Friona

Tucked into the Texas Panhandle near the New Mexico border, Friona is a quiet, tight-knit agricultural community where farming and cattle ranching are still a way of life. The town officially holds the title of the Cheeseburger Capital of Texas, celebrating every fall with a popular Cheeseburger Cook-Off and Festival that brings the whole community together. Friona also takes pride in its history, having become the first school district in Texas to integrate back in 1954. With a dedicated local school system, friendly neighbors, and a slow-paced small-town atmosphere, it offers a peaceful spot for anyone looking to settle into classic High Plains living.
