Welcome to the official website of the City of Archer City.  Archer City is 25 miles southwest of Wichita Falls, lies at the junction of State Highway 79 and State Highway 25, and is the county seat of Archer County.  We are a quaint Texas town that enjoys our “small town” feel and friendliness but also offers some finer aspects of city life.

Many know of Archer City because of our famous native son, Pulitzer Prize winning author, Larry McMurtry.  Movies based on his novels, The Last Picture Show and Texasville, were filmed on the streets of Archer City.

Ranching and oil are two major industries in our area.  Archer County is known as the “Short Grass Ranching Capital” of the nation because our grass, which is short, has tremendous strength and nutritious qualities. We are also known for excellent hunting. Our area is home to deer, dove, quail, turkey, and wild hogs.

The City of Archer must complete citizen survey to apply for grant
The City of Archer City is conducting a survey of its residents to obtain a Texas Community Development Block Grant for water, sewer, or street improvements.  It is very important to our community improvement effort that all citizens respond to the surveyors when they come to your home for this short survey.
Surveyors include Buddy and Jolene Knox, Linnie Hudson and Marcia Mahler.  These surveyors will have identification showing that they are obtaining this information on behalf of the City. The survey will begin as early as next week and run through August. Please contact City hall at 574-4570 for questions or concerns.
