Welcome to Pecos County, Texas
The tradition began back in 1936, when Comanche Springs flowed freely and Texas was celebrating its Centennial. Henry Mansfield Long and the local Lions Club wanted to do something to pay tribute to Texas 100 years of Statehood, and the beautiful springs that contributed so much to the entire region. According to the "Pecos County History," and the section on Water Carnival compiled by Bobbye Kincaid, "It was the goal of the club to enlist support of the entire population of Fort Stockton to the end that the Water Carnival may be so outstanding a success that it may become an annual event, bringing wide fame to Fort Stockton as the resort town of this section."
