Washburn, Texas is a small, historic community in Armstrong County along Highway 287, just west of Claude 13 miles. Once a booming railroad town in the late 1800s, today it reflects the quiet strength of the Texas Panhandle—rooted in ranching heritage, wide-open spaces, and a close-knit rural way of life.
Since our founding in 1995, Claude Chamber of Commerce has played a crucial role in promoting economic development in the local area. Our work has helped to create jobs, attract investment, and support local businesses.
