== Fun facts ==
* Andrews County was one of the earlier counties in Texas to turn into a Republican stronghold beginning in the late 1960s, and remains very powerfully so today.
* McKinney Acres is mostly a residential extension of Andrews with some RV parks.
* Shafter Lake became a ghost town after the town lost an election for county seat of Andrews County. An intertown feud developed between Shafter Lake and nearby Andrews for the title of county seat. In June a controversial election was held. Some of the controversy surrounding the election stemmed from both towns' efforts to acquire eligible voters. The election went off regardless, and Shafter Lake lost to Andrews by a narrow margin. After the loss the town declined rapidly. By 1912 most of Shafter Lake's residents had moved to Andrews. In 1980 only a dilapidated cemetery remained. Its twelve graves and one original building are all that remains of a once bustling West Texas boom town. Today at the site one can find a ranch operation run by the descendants of the town's first postmaster.
