Tascosa, a volte chiamata Old Tascosa, è una città fantasma del Texas situata nella contea di Oldham, a nord-ovest di Amarillo. Già capoluogo di dieci contee nella regione del Panhandle, la città ebbe un breve momento di gloria negli anni 1880 quando divenne rivale economica di Dodge City.

Tascosa, sometimes called Old Tascosa, is the former capital of 10 counties in the Texas Panhandle. The town emerged briefly in the 1880s as an economic rival of Dodge City, Kansas. Located in Oldham County northwest of Amarillo, Tascosa is now a ghost town. In 1893, the bridge was washed out and the flood damaged homes and businesses, so people began to move away. Two of the last residents were ex-gambler Mickey McCormick and a former dance hall girl and card dealer Frenchy McCormick. Mickey died in 1912, and Frenchy in 1941. They are buried next to each other outside town.

Located in Oldham County northwest of Amarillo, Tascosa is now a ghost town. In 1893, the bridge was washed out and the flood damaged homes and businesses, so people began to move away. Two of the last residents were ex-gambler Mickey McCormick and a former dance hall girl and card dealer Frenchy McCormick. Mickey died in 1912, and Frenchy in 1941. They are buried next to each other outside town. In 1939, Cal Farley's Boys Ranch opened after Julian Bivins, son of Lee Bivins, donated the town site, the renovated old courthouse, and the surrounding 120 acres. The courthouse, now a museum, and the 1889 schoolhouse are the only buildings from the old town to survive into the 21st century. Tascosa was the setting for the showdown between Lin McAdams (Jimmy Stewart) and Dutch Henry Brown (Stephen McNally) in the 1950 American Western film, Winchester 73. Stewart also played the sheriff of Tascosa, Guthrie McCabe, in the 1961 production Two Rode Together.
