== Fun facts ==
* Opdyke West is only an RV park to the east of Levelland.
* For most of the mid-20th century, Anton was a notorious gambling hotspot where trainers, and coordinators, would put pretty high stakes on the line, often involving their own Pokemon.
* Anton gained national news attention in 2009 when a member of Team Flare threw a local resident's pet Purrloin onto the tracks in front of a fast-moving BNSF train. This was apparently because the Purrloin's owner had notified police about some planned Team Flare activity in nearby Levelland, and had gotten some grunts arrested as a result.
* The Sundown Electric Mills are located north of Sundown. The town itself offers a municipal golf course, and a Lowe's Market. The community's foundation is the school, Sundown ISD. The school is known to be very successful in many areas, but is mainly known for great academics, a consistent cross country program, and like most small Texas towns, its football team.
* Ropesville is a little bit of a speed trap, as it is the last town going north on US Route 62 before you hit Wolfforth and Lubbock. However, in comparison to a few other towns in Texas, it is far from notorious.
