Roscoe is a city in Nolan County in the U.S. state of Texas near the intersection of Interstate 20 and US Highway 84.

[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 1.9 square miles (4.9 km2), all land.

Shipment of cattle by railroad featured prominently in the town's early economic history, and the Roscoe, Snyder, and Pacific Railway connected the town to the Santa Fe Railway in nearby Fluvanna in 1909.

[11] As of the 2020 United States census, there were 1,271 people, 565 households, and 450 families residing in the city.

The July mudbog normally draws around 70 to 80 trucks competing for prize and bragging rights.

The recent wind development in the area has enabled Roscoe ISD to update its aging facilities built in the era of the Works Progress Administration.

In addition to the Union Pacific, another rail line, the Roscoe, Snyder and Pacific Railway (RS&P), formerly extended 50 miles (80 km) from Roscoe to Fluvanna, passing through Snyder.

Although the RS&P became one of the most profitable short lines in the nation during its early years, passenger service was discontinued in 1953, freight service was discontinued in the late 1970s, and most of the tracks outside of the city had been removed by 1984.
