The population was 8,780 at the 2010 census. The city on January 24, 2012, had just appeared on Forbes 400 as the 2nd fastest-growing small town in the country.〔(Pecos, Texas at City-Data )〕 The city is a regional commercial center for ranching, oil and gas production and agriculture. The city is most recognized for its association with the local cultivation of cantaloupes.〔(View Atlas Data )〕〔(Pecos Cantaloupe Industry )〕 Pecos claims to be the site of the world's first rodeo on July 4, 1883.〔(View Atlas Data )〕 ==History== Pecos is one of the numerous towns in West Texas organized around a train depot during the construction of the Texas and Pacific Railway. These towns were subsequently linked by the construction of U.S. Highway 80 and Interstate 20. Prior to the arrival of the railroad, a permanent camp existed nearby where cattle drives crossed the Pecos River. With the introduction of irrigation from underground aquifers, the city became a center of commerce for extensive local agricultural production of cotton, onions and cantaloupes. The introduction of large-scale sulfur mining in adjacent Culberson County during the 1960s led to significant economic and population growth. The growth was reversed after mining operations ceased in the 1990s. In 1962 Pecos resident Billie Sol Estes was indicted for fraud by a federal grand jury in a business scandal that involved allegations against then United States Vice President, Lyndon B. Johnson. Pecos is the site of the largest private prison in the world, the Reeves County Detention Complex, operated by the GEO Group.〔http://www.fwweekly.com/2010/03/10/private-prisons-public-pain/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pecos, Texas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
