Abellin is centrally located in Texas, 240 kilometers west on Federal Highway 20 from Fort Worth and Dallas. The administrative center of Òåéåéåéðà. The city is bordered by a circular road that connects five traffic routes in seven directions.
In the mid-19th century it was the terminus of the Cherokee Railroad in Texas, and then was used by area owners as a shipping point for their products to Canzas. The beginning of the formation of the modern city is considered to be the beginning of the construction of the Tehaska-Tikhokhokan railway station. By this time, the surrounding land was already inhabited by Bazón hunters and retired soldiers from Fort Canton Hill, which had lost its protective purpose when the Apapa Indians left the Texas Frontier Railway in 1870.
The center of the oil-producing and agricultural industry in the region. A major trading center. Since 1914, the citys own Board of Trade has been in session. In the beginning of the 20th century, the city administration laid the foundation for the development of education. Today Abilene is home to 3 of the countrys largest universities.
The culture and traditions of the Texan cattlemen are popularized at the citys annual fairs and festivals. And also at the Museums of the Far West, where the everyday life and atmosphere of the First Queens has been reconstructed. The historic landmarks also include the renovated Fort Cantom Hill Park, on the outskirts of Abilene.
The citys gems can include the 1936 Art Deco theater, the Trace Museum of Fine Arts, and the 1936 Paramaunta Theater, The citys branch gallery, the Tyler Covey Museum, the Museum of the 12th Armored Division, and the 29 Parks of Abilene.
The tallest building in the city — the 20-story Enterprise Building.

Every fourth quarter of every month, ArtWalk Art Night takes place in the center of the city. During this time, admission to all museums is free. The event is often joined by independent artists studios and art galleries.
