== Fun facts ==
* Like neighboring Midland, Ector also became a powerfully Republican stronghold beginning in the 1950s, and although not as strongly as Midland, gave 60%+ of its vote to Gerald Ford in 1976.
* Goldsmith is a small agricultural town, and in comparison to the surrounding area, has seen very little growth.
* The Notrees area was home to the world's largest grid energy storage system that uses a 36 MW (48,000 hp) lead-acid battery capable of delivering full effect for 40 minutes. The title was lost upon completion in 2017 of the Hornsdale Power Reserve in South Australia, which can provide 100 MW (130,000 hp).
* The Caprock Motorplex is located at Penwell.
