The name of the town of Truxton comes from the famous Beale Camel Expedition. Lieutenant "Ned" Beale stopped at the spring here in 1857 and named it Truxton in honor of either his brother Truxton or his mother, Emily Truxton Beale. Encircled by colorful and scenic terrain, this small community's roots stretch back to the Beale Wagon Trail. More information about Truxton ...
