History

Prior to this solution, water had to be hauled from the area of Big Spring, Texas. Records of Spanish exploring the Los Medano (the sand dunes) outside Monahans can be traced to the early 1770s. Monahans' digging of a water well produced an abundance of good water (250,000 gallons a day) and was instrumental in the success of the city. The Indians in the Monahans region were called "Vaqueros" by these Spanish explorers because they hunted the "hump-backed cow" or bison. Oil discovery brought people of many occupations and of varied interests to Monahans.
