Crossroads of the Texas Midwest on U.S. 277 & 380, this picturesque community is the hub of the Rolling Plains. Named for Charles Ready Haskell, a Revolutionary soldier who fell with Fannin at Goliad, the town was incorporated in 1858 and known as Willow Pond Springs and later as Rice Springs, before becoming Haskell. Buffalo, Indians, and cowboys all used the springs as a watering hole. Wild mustangs roamed freely west of Haskell on the Wild Horse Knob prairie. As the county seat, Haskell dominated regional trade and culture. Barbeques and dances were annual events. In those early days a local saloon known as the Road to Ruin was also used for church services. Through the century, the town experienced both boom and bust cycles, but the indomitable spirit of the citizens always prevailed, and today Haskell is a thriving center of commerce and retail trade in the area. Haskell is a great place to live and raise a family. Nature tourism is also become a source of revenue for businesses and landowners.
