Paulville, Texas

Paulville, Texas, is an American cooperative organization as well as the site and planned community under its development in the salt flats of north Hudspeth County, intended to consist exclusively of Ron Paul supporters. The Paulville community idea was named after U.S. Congressman and 2012 presidential candidate Ron Paul, and the cooperative is modeled on his often libertarian ideas.The New York Times says, "For now, the town is little more than an idea and a title deed," but considers it to be evidence that Paul's "campaign appears to be growing into something beyond a conventional protest campaign," also echoing the concept expressed by others that "the Ron Paul revolution has increasingly less to do with Ron Paul".

The Paulville site is located in the undeveloped salt flats outside of city limits, located south-southwest of rural Dell City, Texas (population 413 in 2000), north of U.S. Route 180, and an hour east of El Paso. It is also 770 miles (1,240 km) from Paul's East Texas office of Lake Jackson. The organizers say 50 acres (20 ha) have been purchased to date. Photos reveal the range of the Guadalupe Mountains 15 miles (24 km) east, and the local area has occasional deer and tumbleweeds. The mountain area is also noted for elk, coyotes, jack rabbits, desert cottontails, ring-tailed ground squirrels, and gray foxes. Another mountain range looms just west.
