History

The population was 6,821 at the 2000 United States Census census.

The Permian Basin, home to Monahans and Midland-Odessa combined statistical area MSA, is 250 miles wide and 300 miles long - Monahans is "The Center of the Permian Basin". However, when oil was discovered in the area in 1926, the destiny of the community changed directions. The Indians in the Monahans region were called "Vaqueros" by these Spanish explorers because they hunted the "hump-backed cow" or bison. This area was formed during the Permian Period, the final portion of the Paleozoic Era. Located in a region where native Comanches, Mescalero, and Lipan Apache Indians once roamed, Monahans' history as a community extends back to the late 1880s with the expansion of the Texas and Pacific Railway across the south plains.
