| This border town was once a stop on the Texas Trail. The town was established when the railroad came in 1867, and by the 1880s, Pine Bluffs became the major shipping hub for the cattle industry. More cattle boarded trains here than anywhere else in the world. Originally called Rock Ranch, the name was later changed to reflect the pine-covered bluffs south of the town site. Pine Bluffs is now primarily a farming community, with several silos and a variety of crops growing around the town. |
