About Stanton

Stanton has deep West Texas roots that go back to the 1880s, when it started as a small railroad stop settled by German homesteaders. Today, it serves as the friendly county seat of Martin County, sitting right between Midland and Big Spring along Interstate 20. It is a quiet, tight-knit community surrounded by wide-open ranch land and cotton fields, offering a peaceful rural pace while keeping bigger city jobs and amenities just a short drive down the highway.
