Texola

About This Stop

Texola sits on the Texas-Oklahoma border, marking the entry into the Texas Panhandle on Route 66. This small border town once thrived as a gateway community with gas stations, cafes, and motels serving westbound travelers. Today, Texola stands as a near-ghost town with weathered buildings and vintage signage that evoke Route 66's past. The quiet streets and abandoned structures offer photographers and history enthusiasts a haunting glimpse into the rise and decline of Route 66 communities.
