Dell City is a farming town at the intersection of Farm roads 1437 and 2249, east of
El Paso in northeastern
Hudspeth County, near the New Mexico state line.
The area had been primarily devoted to sheep and goat ranching until the discovery of large amounts of underground water. Among the crops raised in the area now are long-staple cotton, onions, and tomatoes.
The community's estimated population was 569 in the early 1990s; at that time the town had around thirty businesses.
