History of Canyon Texas
The history of the homes for sale in this West Texas area can be traced back to 1887 when a group of settlers led by Lincoln Guy Conner constructed the first Canyon Texas homes near Palo Duro Canyon. Most of these Canyon Texas homes were dugouts that featured very simple designs.
Modern Canyon was established during the late 1890s after business owners established a thriving shipping industry near a Pecos and Northern Texas Railway service center. Many of the Canyon settlers during this time were farmers who constructed thriving farms that were known for producing high-quality dairy products and produce. Canyon experienced significant growth during the early 20th century. Much of this growth was centered near Canyon Town Square and Canyon's largest dairies.
