COMMUNITY QUALITY OF LIFE

A young dynamic community working together to create a great place to live, shop, and enjoy!

With less than 10,000 people, Perryton is small enough so that neighbors and friends look out for each other, but large enough to have all the conveniences and facilities.

Perryton is recognized for its Spirit of Enthusiasm! This spirit creates an aggressive community, a community that realizes that by working together you build a positive environment.

Perryton symbolizes the spirit, the effort and the vision needed to solve problems and achieve the dreams of building, improving and prospering. Whether you are here for a day or a lifetime, you immediately recognize the spirit of the community. It's just a great place to live, raise a family and operate a business.

Statistical data about Perryton such as the number of churches, and itemization of recreational facilities, or a discussion of the communication services in the community say little about why people like to live and work here. The caring and concern that friends and neighbors have for each other and the ease with which newcomers become a part of the community are the factors that make Perryton a unique Texas High Plains town.

In fact, Perryton does provide a great variety of amenities such as:

• retail shops and stores

• an award winning biweekly newspaper

• outstanding radio stations - Perryton Radio Inc. and KXDJ Radio 98.3 fm

• financial institutions for commerce and agriculture - (There are 3 banks in Perryton with total assets of $474,473,000 and plant financial assistance is available.)

  • First Bank Southwest, N.A.

  • Interstate Bank (301 S. Main, Perryton, TX 79070 (806) 435-4071)

  • Perryton National Bank  

• an excellent cable television system

• service organizations that serve the civic needs of the community

Quality daycare is provided by the Beehive Day Care Center. Church congregations that represent practically all denominations provide for the spiritual needs of the community. Assisted Living Facility (The Season's), Perry Memorial Library, Museum of The Plains, and Ochiltree County Exposition Center are excellent facilities that provide valuable services for the community.

 
Perhaps it is because of this combination of physical facilities plus the "heart" of the community that folks "like the place". Whether you are here for a day or have come to stay, we hope you will take advantage of all the opportunities that are here for the taking.
