Born on the High Plains of Texas in the early 1900s, Perryton is the gateway to Texas for travel and business. Located just minutes from Oklahoma and less than an hour from Kansas, our county enjoys year-round visitors from many states.
Ochiltree County has natural beauty, with wide-open spaces and clean, clear air. Nearby Wolf Creek Park and Lake Fryer offer boating, recreation and fishing. We have vast wheat farms that have earned the county its well-known title as Wheatheart of the Nation. Our active oil and gas fields produce vast amounts of petroleum.
We’re home to a fascinating history, from archaeological discoveries to the historical settling of an entire city at Perryton’s railroad. If you enjoy digging into the past or just want to relax in the present, we have what you are looking for.
Perryton has wonderful downtown shopping areas offering unique stores. We have restaurants and dining places that serve delicious treats. We have a small-town friendly feeling, and yet have services that visitors expect to find only in much larger cities, blending small-town values with the best of large-city opportunities.
All in all, we offer the kind of community you will appreciate with each High Plains sunrise and every Texas sunset. Whether you plan to come for a visit or stay for a lifetime, we hope you will enjoy Perryton and Ochiltree County as much as we do! Dana Donahue, president, Perryton-Ochiltree Chamber of Commerce
