Homeland of Tom Blasingame, this territory named after a Texan pioneer is one of the dry and wonderful communities located in the Amarillo metropolitan area. Constituted by four localities (Claude, Goodnight, Wayside, and Washburn), Armstrong County is served by the Claude Independent School District, Clarendon Consolidated Independent School District, Groom Independent School District, and Happy Independent School District. This son of Texas shares frontiers with Carson, Gray, Donley, Briscoe, Swisher, Randall, and Potter Counties territories.
