Why We Buy Wichita County Property
Wichita County sits in the North Texas Rolling Plains, where the Wichita River and Little Wichita River wind across gently rolling grassland and cropland. The county covers 627.59 square miles and is anchored by Wichita Falls, the principal city of the Wichita Falls metropolitan area (which also includes Archer and Clay counties).
Demand here comes from cattle and grain operations, oil-and-gas interests tied to the county's century-old production history, and buyers drawn to the steady presence of Sheppard Air Force Base and Midwestern State University in the local economy — which supports rural land values even as the county's population has held roughly flat since 2020.

Wichita County Land Market in 2026
Per the Texas Real Estate Research Center (TRERC) at Texas A&M, Texas rural land has averaged roughly $5,200 per acre statewide in early 2026, while the traditionally lower-cost Panhandle/South Plains region has run closer to $1,844 per acre over the same window.
Wichita County sits in the North Texas Rolling Plains, between those two reference points geographically and economically. A precise Rolling Plains sub-regional figure specific to Wichita County was not independently confirmed on this pass, so treat any single per-acre number for this county as illustrative pending a local appraisal or TRERC's regional breakout. Use type (cropland vs. pasture vs. mineral-encumbered), road access, water, and proximity to Wichita Falls or Sheppard AFB as your real drivers.

What Texas Landowners Say
"I was tired of the realtor runaround on our pasture west of town. PlaceAcre gave me a fair cash number the same week, no showings, no games. Closed at the title company and moved on."
— Dale R., Wichita Falls-area rancher
"After Dad passed, we inherited acreage outside Burkburnett none of us lived near. PlaceAcre handled everything through the title company and wired the funds — we split the proceeds without a family fight."
— Connie B., Burkburnett landowner heir
Fascinating Facts About Wichita County
A City Named for Falls That Vanished — Then Came Back
Wichita Falls was platted and named in 1876 for an actual waterfall on the Wichita River. An 1886 flood destroyed it, and the city didn't get its falls back until building a 54-foot artificial replica in Lucy Park in 1987.
The 1918 Burkburnett Oil Boom
The discovery of the Burkburnett oil field in 1918 triggered a genuine boom — local bank deposits jumped 400% in a single year as oil-related industries flooded in.
Sheppard AFB Started on Land Sold for $1
Sheppard Air Force Base opened as a U.S. Army Air Corps training center in 1941 on land sold to the Army for $1 by cattleman, oilman, and philanthropist Joseph Sterling Bridwell. By 1945 it held the largest concentration of Army Air Corps personnel in the world — over 46,000.
The Poker-Game Legend
Local lore holds that the land beneath present-day Wichita Falls was won in an 1837 poker game by John A. Scott of Mississippi — though historians note Scott actually acquired the tract through Texas land certificates.
