About Silverton
Silverton is a quiet Texas Panhandle town of around 600 residents, sitting high on the Caprock plains as the seat of Briscoe County. Founded in the 1890s, it offers the kind of peaceful, open-country atmosphere where neighbors know each other by name. The historic county courthouse anchors the center of town, surrounded by wide streets, local shops, and deep roots in farming and ranching.
Community life here revolves around local gatherings and Silverton Owls school sports. Sitting along Highway 86, the town puts you just a short drive from the rugged red-rock trails of Caprock Canyons State Park, home to the state's bison herd. For anyone looking to relocate to a slower pace of life with big skies, friendly faces, and plenty of space to breathe, Silverton offers classic West Texas small-town living.
