Abilene is the commercial hub of West Central Texas, with an economy anchored by Dyess Air Force Base, home to a B-1 bomber wing, along with healthcare, regional banking, agriculture and energy. Three private universities, Abilene Christian, Hardin-Simmons and McMurry, bring faculty, students, families and visiting teams, and the city serves a wide ring of ranching and farming communities that rely on it for medical care, shopping and services.

Abilene sits on Interstate 20 well west of Fort Worth, a drive long enough that a quick meeting becomes a full day on the road, and airline service typically routes through a hub. A direct private flight makes it simple to visit the base, attend a graduation or check on a ranch property and be home that evening. Visitors discover a downtown that the Texas Legislature named the Storybook Capital of Texas, with bronze sculptures of beloved children’s book characters, a restored historic district, the Frontier Texas museum and steakhouse dinners in nearby Buffalo Gap.
