Monahans History
The Permian Basin, home to Monahans and Midland/Odessa MSA, is 250 miles wide and 300 miles long - Monahans is "The Center of the Permian Basin". This area was formed during the Permian Period, the final portion of the Paleozoic Era. At the time, it was an abundant ocean filled with aquatic life. After this ocean dried up, the decaying plants and animals formed the gigantic pools of oil and gas the area is now known for.

A Word from the Mayor
“Monahans is one of those rare rural communities that offer wonderful recreational amenities including a golf course, Sandhills, museums, swimming pool, and parks.
We offer an excellent quality of life with a first-rate regional hospital, quality schools, and a low crime rate.
In Monahans we know the police officers' names and call out to them with a smile. You and your neighbors exchange greetings in the yard while cutting the grass, raking leaves, or trimming hedges. We take pride in saying, "We are from Monahans, Texas”.”
