Additional Details:
Named for the Pecos River, its "crossroads location" made it an ideal supply center for early wagon trains, trail drovers, and ranchers...a railroad shipping center. Since the '20s, oil and gas discoveries, military flight training, and the development of immense water reserves for irrigation have in turn contributed to Pecos' healthy growth to a bustling center of some 16,000 population.
