Cranfills Gap is a city located in Bosque County in central Texas, United States.
On December 3, 2008, KXXV-TV in nearby Waco reported on its website that Cranfills Gap had been selected for participation in an advertising campaign for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
The selection process compared hundreds of rural communities from across the USA seeking "the most unique all-American town in all of the 50 states.
"[6] Cranfills Gap was first contacted by the LVCVA in October 2008 when the town was placed on the list of ten candidate communities.
In November 2008, Cranfills Gap Chamber of Commerce members were notified that the LVCVA had shortened the list to two finalists including their town.
The visitors stayed for about a week and conducted a fresh set of interviews and observed the community at work and play.
Although the LVCVA had initially intended to send 150 residents from the winning locality to Sin City, the Cranfills Gap Chamber of Commerce and elected officials struck a feasible compromise with their visitors: if selected, Cranfills Gap would make every effort to provide one hundred adult men and women for the LVCVA's project.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.7 square miles (1.8 km2), all land.
The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.
