About Hawley

Hawley is a small West Texas town of roughly 550 people in Jones County, situated right along the Clear Fork of the Brazos River. It offers a quiet country setting with easy access to city conveniences. Sitting right off U.S. Highways 83 and 277, Hawley is just thirteen miles northwest of Abilene, making for an easy fifteen-minute commute to regional jobs, dining, and healthcare. Local kids attend the Hawley Independent School District, where community pride and school athletics run deep.

Originally founded in 1906 as a railroad stop, Hawley has held onto its open spaces and relaxed pace of life over the decades. Neighborhoods are quiet, properties often have plenty of room to spread out, and neighbors tend to look out for one another. If you want peaceful, rural living within arm's reach of Abilene, Hawley makes a practical and welcoming place to put down roots.
