Hay Flat, also spelled Hayflat, is a ghost town in Winkler and Loving counties, Texas, United States.[1]
History[]
The village was founded in 1900 and, in 1910, a school was built there. Due to a drought in Winkler County between 1916 and 1920, most of the residents moved away from Hay Flat, which was abandoned a few decades later.[1]
Geography[]
Hay Flat lies at the borders between Winkler and Loving counties, few miles south of the borders of New Mexico. The largest portion of the village is in Winkler County.
