Eastland Chamber of Commerce

Eastland, Texas, the home of Old Rip! Alive 'n kickin'!

Discover Eastland! The city was founded in 1891 by Jacamiah Daugherty, Charles Connellee and J.B. Ammerman. In the late 1880's the Texas & Pacific Railroad cut an East/West path across the State, bringing development and conveniences to newcomers who were drawn to affordable land. Home of Old Rip – the horned toad placed in the cornerstone of the third courthouse in 1897 and removed in 1928, flat, dusty, but alive.
