General-

Cisco, Texas was established in 1881. This tiny community developed as a marketing and distribution center for the surrounding large cattle and agricultural area. It's economy was later stimulated by the discovery of a Ranger oil pool in 1917. Today, Cisco continues as a center for oil and gas production, diversified agriculture and manufacturing. It is also the Home of Cisco Junior College

Mobley Hotel-

The Mobley was bought by Conrad Hilton in 1919. It was the only way he could get a place to sleep at that particular time. This little hotel became the first in the huge Hilton Hotel chain. Hilton saw a financial opportunity in providing rooms to oil field workers; thus, rooms were rented for eight-hour shifts, and henceforth tripling the tiny hotel's normal income. Now restored to it original charm, this hotel now serves as the city's chamber of commerce office and community center. Two rooms are restored to the original 1919 look; another room features an historical museum. Open for tours 9-12 & 1-5 Monday-Friday.
