About Roby

As the county seat of Fisher County, Roby is a quiet West Texas town surrounded by endless skies and sprawling cotton fields. Life has centered around the courthouse square since the late 1800s, giving the community a relaxed, traditional rhythm. Neighbors often run into each other around the square while running daily errands, catching up on local news, and enjoying the unhurried pace of small-town living.

Business dried up long ago at this particular Yeats Pecan Farm processing plant location in little Roby, Texas, northwest of Abilene. The building functioned for awhile as a second hand store before LCCN2015630045

Community life here revolves around agriculture and the local school district, where Roby Lions athletics and hometown events bring families together throughout the year. Beyond the quiet neighborhood streets, wide-open farm country stretches out in every direction, offering plenty of breathing room and peaceful starry nights. It is a welcoming, close-knit community that offers newcomers an authentic slice of rural Texas living.
