The Texas Panhandle is known for its fair share of cow towns.

Because there are so many dairies, feedlots, and farms around the Texas Panhandle, some of the towns are only populated by three or four families. It's not uncommon to meet people who graduated with five, eight, or eleven people.

We wanted to find out just how small some of these towns are. All of the information we gathered is based on census information, so there may be towns with smaller populations, but the number is not available online.
