Anthony is an incorporated town in El Paso County, Texas, United States.

Anthony was laid out c. 1881, when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway was extended to that point.

As of the 2020 United States census, there were 3,671 people, 1,412 households, and 1,090 families residing in the town.

A large section of bare desert land on the north side of Antonio Street near the 1400–1600 block is designated to become a soccer field complex with at least 4 fields and home to the Anthony Desert Rats soccer team.

The baseball park is named after Anthony Police Department's only officer killed in the line of duty.

The park consists of two fenced regulation baseball fields with bleachers and a small building used for maintenance and concessions.

The northeast section is fenced in with a dirt road which can be used during open hours to drive in and park.

Citizens can use the slabs to set up tables and grills for large parties (by permit only when purchased at the Town Hall).

The fenced in section of the park is often rented by citizens and organizations to host large events such as car shows, birthday parties, family reunions, and company outings.

In the middle of the park is a small stone monument with a metal plaque dedicated to the memory of Henry Miramontes.

This grass-covered park has several shade trees, covered picnic tables, and various sets of playground equipment.

At the east end of the park where Antonio Street and Franklin Street intersect there is a flag pole beside a large metal sign which reads "Welcome to Anthony" in red letters facing to the east towards Interstate 10.

Within the municipal boundaries of the town along the Rio Grande on the eastern side is a paved pathway with occasional benches and bridges for public use by bicyclists, joggers, walkers, fishers, bird watchers, runners, and other outdoor enthusiasts.

[15] In 1988 local resident Mary Ann Brown, a member of the Anthony Chamber of Commerce and born on leap year day, February 29, proposed that the Anthony Chamber of Commerce host a festival centered on Leap Day.

In February 1988 based on this celebration and because no other place in the world regularly sponsors such an event, the town's Chamber of Commerce voted to sponsor Ms. Brown's idea of the festival and subsequently declared Anthony, Texas & Anthony, New Mexico to be the joint Leap Year Capitals of the World.

In January 1996 the Anthony, New Mexico, post office was designated "Leap Year Station" and granted a commemorative postal cancellation.

In celebration of the event, the town's postmaster will typically appear as "Leap Year William" and distribute candy to parade attendees.

Each campus is within walking distance of the others and the central office is located between the elementary and middle schools.
