Dell City

In West Texas there is a town where the Chihuahua desert meets the Guadalupe mountains. A piece of land, so dry that for the longest time only rabbits and snakes found their home here. Water, not oil, caused a sudden population growth in the 1950’s. When the land hit water, farmers from all over moved to the desert to plant alfalfa, peppers and cotton. Others built streets, churches and a theater. 

Today most of the small farmers have been bought by big farming companies and machinerie has taken over much of the work. 

Ever since this small town has been a place that is at times growing and changing, and at other times on the verge of becoming a ghost town, attracting visitors and inhabitants that are not looking to be found.
