The City of Stephenville
Relocating to a new area can be exciting especially when you know about Stephenville, Texas.
Stephenville is a city in Erath County, Texas and is named “Cowboy capital of the World”. Stephenville is home to more professional rodeo cowboys and cowgirls than any other place in the world. As of the 2020 census, the city’s population was 20,847.
Stephenville is named after John M. Stephen, who settled there in 1854, and donated the land for the townsite laid out by George B. Erath when the county was organized in 1856. In the first two years of its settlement, the population increased to 776. The population then declined until 1871, because the townsite was in Comanche territory and raids were common, and because the hardships of the American Civil War led citizens to leave. The population grew after Stephenville became an agriculture and livestock center. Coal mining also became important to the area in 1886 and was a major segment of the economy for the 30 years.
In the 1890s, many of the buildings around the town square were built, Tarleton State University opened, and the community’s two newspapers merged to become the Empire-Tribune, which is still in operation. In the 20th century, industry became an important part of Stephenville, and the population has steadily increased since the 1920s.
