History

The Indians in the Monahans region were called "Vaqueros" by these Spanish explorers because they hunted the "hump-backed cow" or bison. After this ocean dried up, the decaying plants and animals formed the gigantic pools of oil and gas the area is now known for. However, when oil was discovered in the area in 1926, the destiny of the community changed directions. Records of Spanish exploring the Los Medano (the sand dunes) outside Monahans can be traced to the early 1770s. 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".
