Wildorado is proud to be a part of the Texas Panhandle and the old "Route 66". We are an unincorporated community of approx. 200 people. For the history of Wildorado, please see below. For some Local Attractions, please click here.

In the 1890's folks travelling between Canyon & Tascosa (now Boy's Ranch) would stop at an old rock dugout along the Wildorado Creek. Here they found good spring water & a cool place to rest. They could shoe their horses & repair their wagons before getting back on the road. Eventually many travelers stayed, and around 1900 established the present townsite of Wildorado. Throughout the years those that have chosen to stay have experienced the relaxed & friendly way of life that Wildorado people enjoy.

Located in SE Oldham County, residents here enjoy the best of both worlds with rural living plus easy access to a major city. The main thoroughfare was the Old Ozark Trail, which became the famous Route 66, & eventually gave way to today's I-40. Amarillo is just 15 min. away to the east.
