About the concho river


The Concho River is a 76-mile-long river located in west-central Texas. The river's name comes from the numerous shells, or conch, found along its banks. The river has a rich history dating back to the 1700s, with the first European exploration in the area conducted by Spanish explorers. The Concho River is a tributary of the Colorado River and is fed by numerous springs and creeks. The river is home to two major reservoirs: the O.H. Ivie Reservoir and the Twin Buttes Reservoir. These reservoirs provide water for irrigation and municipal use in the surrounding areas. The Concho River also has significant recreational use, with activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming popular among visitors. Additionally, the river and surrounding area support various agricultural activities, including livestock grazing and crop production.
