Seminole, Texas, isn’t your average West Texas town. Our story begins with the roaming days of the Comanche to the arrival of determined settlers.

Today, that rich past is woven into the fabric of our close-knit community, where tradition and innovation meet with a warm West Texas smile.

Founded in the early 1900s, Seminole quickly became a haven for pioneers seeking a new life on the frontier. More recently, the arrival of Mennonite communities added a unique cultural thread. Their dedication to hard work and faith is evident in the spirit of our town.
