About Toyah
Set in the wide-open desert of West Texas, Toyah holds the title of the oldest townsite in Reeves County. It was established in the late 19th century as a lively railroad and ranching hub, complete with trading posts, stagecoach stops, and cattle cars rolling across the plains. Those frontier boom years have passed, but the town still retains the distinct feel of a historic railroad settlement.
Today, Toyah offers a peaceful pace of life under huge desert skies, situated a short drive down Interstate 20 from Pecos. Residents enjoy quiet rural surroundings while relying on neighboring communities for shopping, medical care, and regional schools. It is a calm, low-key spot for anyone drawn to open country, rich local history, and easy trips to nearby getaways like Balmorhea.
