Breckenridge, a thriving North Central Texas community is home to approximately 6,000 friendly people, and gateway to West Texas with a vast range of recreational opportunities. Breckenridge, the "county seat" of Stephens County, was established in 1876. The great 1920's oil boom exploded and changed the Breckenridge population from 1,500 to 30,000 in 12 months with hundreds of oil derricks sprouting within the city limits. Breckenridge has rich oil history and was once labeled The Fastest Growing and Busiest Oil City in the U.S.A.
