Welcome to By Clarendon Mayor Larry Hicks
beautiful display of neon and LED lighting.
t gives me a great deal of pleasure as mayor to extend a warm greeting to you. Whether you are a new resident of our community or a short time visitor, we hope you will agree that Clarendon is a special place with warm caring people and much to offer to those who come to our little city.
In addition to an excellent public school system, we are very proud of Clarendon College, which was rated the number two community college in the State of Texas for student success this year.
I
We have a lot to be proud of in Clarendon, and we are excited to share it all with you. There are many family activities throughout the year, including the annual Chuckwagon Cookoff in September, the Cotton Festival down the road in Hedley in October, the Clarendon Arts Festival also in October, our Courthouse Lighting ceremony in November, and our annual Christmas Bazaar in December. To learn about our community, I encourage you to stop by our Clarendon Visitor Center at 110 S. Kearney Street at the Mulkey Theatre. There you’ll find the office of the Chamber of Commerce and the Clarendon Economic Development Corporation and people who can help answer any question you have about our town. The Mulkey itself is also a source of pride and interest. The 1946 theatre is undergoing a revitalization that will turn it into a conference center and live performance hall in addition to a movie house. Stop by the Mulkey at night to see its 4
The Saints’ Roost Museum is an excellent place to spend some time learning about our history. The museum is open daily Tuesday through Saturday. Of course, Greenbelt Lake, located just north of Clarendon, is also something we’re quite proud of. Greenbelt offers fishing, camping, and other recreational activities. And we’re excited to have a new disc golf course in the works there as well. Here in town we encourage you to visit Prospect Park just south of our downtown on Kearney Street – it’s a beautiful place for a family picnic, reunions, birthday parties, or just somewhere for your kids to play. We also invite you to visit our numerous historic markers throughout the city and especially hope you will visit our 1890 Courthouse. We hope you enjoy your stay with us and find that Clarendon is the best place to be. And again, on behalf of the City Council, City Administrator David Dockery, and all the city employees, welcome!

O
n behalf of the elected officials and employees of Donley County, let me extend a warm welcome to our community. Donley County is proud to be home to one of the finest county courthouses in the state. Called “The Jewel of the Plains,” it was built in 1890 and restored in 2003. Celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, the Donley County Courthouse is home to the Judge, County Attorney, County Treasurer, and Adult Probation Officer and is venue for the 100th District Judge. It also is the site for the meetings of the County Commissioners. Feel free to drop by and tour this historic facility as visitors are welcome in the oldest functioning courthouse in the Panhandle. The courthouse grounds are the site of the county’s annual Fourth of July celebration and you will want to come by for the Christmas lighting ceremony as well on Saturday, November 28, 2015. County government in Texas is directed by the Commissioners Court, comprised

Pioneer Spirit the Story of Saints’ Roost In the spring of 1878, a charismatic preacher led a group of Northern Methodists to the wild frontier of the Texas Panhandle. They settled at the junction of Carroll Creek and the Salt Fork of the Red River. It was there, in what would become Donley County, that Rev. L.H. Carhart set out to establish a Christian colony built on the values of temperance and education, and he named the town Clarendon in honor of his wife, Clara. As the third settlement in the Panhandle territory, Clarendon stood apart from the wilder communities of Mobeetie and Tascosa, which were more known for saloons and rowdy cowboys. The colony strictly forbade alcohol, built a church as one of its
Street scene in Old Clarendon.
ENTERPRISE ARCHIVE PHOTO
first landmarks, and set plans in place for an academy to bring education to the plains. The neighbors said Clarendon was where the saints roosted, and soon the nickname stuck… Saints’ Roost. Nine years later, the future of the colony came
into question when it became apparent that the Ft. Worth & Denver Railroad would miss the town. A vote was taken, and by the fall of 1887 houses, businesses, and people were all making the move six miles south to the present site of “new” Clarendon.
Country Bloomers
The railroad brought people and commerce; but it also brought new lifestyles with saloons and other “vices.” And yet, the town did not lose sight of its original ambitions, becoming the home of the Panhandle’s first Methodist, Catholic, Episcopal, and African-American congregations and establishing the area’s first college in 1898. Donley County eventually re-established prohibition in 1902, and Saints’ Roost again banished alcohol sales until 2013 when voters reversed the 111-year-old tradition. Today, if you like, you can raise a glass in old Saints’ Roost, but there’s no escaping the town’s original character. With a variety of churches and faith-based services and one of the highest-rated community colleges in the state, Clarendon remains true to its principles and welcomes visitors and newcomers to stay all night… or stay a little longer.

The Old West Lives On...
at the
Chuckwagon Cookoff
Since 1995, the Saints’ Roost Museum has paid tribute to the legendary Panhandle cattleman Col. Charles Goodnight with a cookoff in his honor on the fourth Saturday in September. When the colonel bolted a food box and folding table to the rear of a surplus army wagon in 1866, he probably never dreamed the impact his “Chuck” wagon would have throughout the West. The invention became commonplace on cattle drives and ranches everywhere, serving not only as a kitchen but also a post office, parlor, hospital, store room, and cowboy social center. Now each year, the Col. Charles Goodnight Chuck-
wagon Cookoff hosts more than a dozen cooking teams with authentic wagons who go head-to-head to battle for cash prizes and bragging rights at one of the nation’s premier cookoffs. Clarendon’s cookoff was honored to receive the 2014 Event Award from the American Chuck Wagon Association. Clarendon and the Museum extends a special invitation for you to join us Saturday, September 26, 2015, for a grand celebration of the Old West, which is gone but never forgotten. We know you will enjoy it, and we look forward to seeing you. And if you can’t make this one, mark your calendars for the next one on September 24, 2016.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS
Located on US Highway 287, Clarendon is situated on the main thoroughfare between the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex and Denver, Colorado. Just 45 minutes southeast of Amarillo, Clarendon has more than 14,000 vehicles pass through every day. The city is also served by Texas Highway 70 and is only a few minutes from Interstate 40. The city sits on the line of the Burlington-Northern Santa Fe Railroad, and many types of small aircraft can take advantage of the 4,495-foot runway at Clarendon’s Smiley Johnson Municipal Airport.
FAÇADE GRANTS
Since 2008, the CEDC Façade Grant Program has awarded more than $25,000 to assist businesses in Clarendon. The program provides 50-50 matching grants, up to a maximum of $2,000 per project, for improvements done to commercial storefronts. Grants are awarded to eligible properties located in the city’s Central Business District and on the US 287 corridor.
TOURISM GRANTS
The CEDC administers a portion of Clarendon’s Hotel Occupancy Tax Funds and provides Tourism Grants to events, programs, and activities which meet state and local criteria and are expected to bring overnight visitors to the city. Applications are considered monthly and can be obtained online or at the Visitor Center.
Grant applications are considered monthly and can be obtained online or at the Clarendon Visitor Center.
