What it’s like
The place. Christoval is a small community in Schleicher County, in the dry country of West Texas. Winters are mild and brief, with cold nights in January and only a dusting of snow most years, while summers are hot, with July afternoons well above what most of the country sees. Rain and melted snow add up to a modest amount over the year, which suits the open ranch country around the town.
Work. Residents of Christoval work mostly in farming, forestry and mining, in schools, hospitals and social care, in the building trades, and in transport, warehouses and utilities. Across Schleicher County, the largest workplaces include Schleicher ISD, Christoval ISD and Schleicher County Medical Center. Unemployment across the county has eased a little compared with a year earlier, and the number of jobs there has held steady.
Things to do. San Angelo is the nearest larger city, a longer drive away, and it has most of what a day trip needs. Fort Concho is a historic fort there, and the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts is an art museum. For time outdoors, Twin Buttes Reservoir is a reservoir, also a longer drive away, and the South Concho River is a river in the same area.
