About San Angelo, TX
San Angelo is in the Concho Valley, a region of Texas between the Permian Basin to the northwest, Chihuahuan Desert to the southwest, Osage Plains to the northeast and Central Texas to the southeast. This geographical crossroads – plus the confluence of the three branches of the Concho River – has created a unique and special place in North America. A virtual oasis, San Angelo is home to three lakes, as well as the beautiful Concho River, which runs through the heart of the city.
San Angelo’s 100,000 residents take pride in Angelo State University, Goodfellow Air Force Base, the International Waterlily Collection, excellent medical facilities and many cultural events. The versatile San Angelo State Park helped the city earn the number two spot on Livability.com’s Top 10 Great Places to Ride a Bike. The Concho River Walk has been designated one of five Great Public Spaces on the American Planning Association’s annual Great Places in America list.
San Angelo has consistently been ranked as one of the best small cities for business and employment. In 2015, San Angelo was named one of the top 25 cities to retire in by Forbes Magazine. San Angelo also ranked as one of the best cities for veterans in 2016 by Livability.com. Recently, San Angelo made another Forbes Magazine listing as one of the best small places for businesses and careers in 2019.
San Angelo offers a delightful mixture of arts and culture of West Texas, from a sophisticated symphony that showcases artists such as the Vienna Boys Choir to country and western music, to a civic ballet whose students regularly earn spots at top national dance academies to the folk dances of Mexico. Patrons enjoy live theater at the state’s longest-running theater, Angelo Civic Theatre and on the Angelo State University campus. The Chicken Farm Art Center displays works by visual artists of all media, and the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, a world-class museum that received the prestigious National Museum Service Award, houses continually changing exhibits by artists from Texas and around the world. Also native to the Concho Valley is the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo, which began in 1932, making it one of the longest-running rodeos in the world.
