== Fun facts ==
* Dumas proudly proclaims itself as "Home of the Ding Dong Daddy", a reference to the vaudeville song "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas" by Phil Baxter.[12] However, this is up for debate, as the city of Dumas, Texas, also lays claim, with some documentation, to the song being about them.
* Dumas has a bit of amenities to offer. No Walmart, but it has a Nintendo World, dollar stores, a couple of hotels, a bit of fast food, a sports complex, the Billy Free Municipal Airport, a memorial hospital, Fred's, Piggly Wiggly, a few public battle fields, a bit of local restaurants and businesses, a couple of small car dealerships, and a few other things.
* Dumas is the birthplace of Jim Hines.
