Would you consider your town to be one of the best in the state? Quaint, thriving communities complete with no more than a few stop lights and neighbors who know each other by name cover the state, each offering something entirely unique to residents and visitors alike.

Wether you inhabit one of these cute, close knit communities, or visit often to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the city, there is one Texas town known for being the best in the state.

According to a list compiled by World Atlas, the best small town in all of Texas is Marfa.

Here's what World Atlas had to say about the best small town in the entire state:

"Marfa is an oasis of artistic beauty resting in the high deserts of West Texas. This seemingly normal town of 1,800, far astray from civilization, bolsters a vast history of creativity through the arts. From the minimalistic art of Donald Judd to the historical architecture, there is plenty for tourists to adore. If you’re here for this side of Marfa, start with a trip to the various art museums and galleries spread throughout town. Namely, Fort D. A. Russell, the Ballroom Marfa, and the Judd Foundation provide insights into all sorts of art styles and techniques."
