About Higgins

Higgins is a quiet community of about 350 people in the northeast corner of the Texas Panhandle, situated along U.S. Highway 60 just two miles from the Oklahoma border. Surrounded by wide-open plains and historic ranch country, the town got its start in the late 1880s as a Santa Fe Railroad stop. Today, it offers a peaceful, rural setting where life moves at a relaxed pace and open skies stretch in every direction.

Cattle ranching, agriculture, and energy production continue to anchor the local economy. Families in Higgins are zoned to the nearby Canadian Independent School District, giving students access to strong academic and extracurricular programs. With easy highway connections to neighboring towns and a friendly, tight-knit atmosphere, Higgins is well suited for anyone looking to trade city crowds for quiet country living.
