Real history
Founded in 1903 as a Rock Island Railroad siding and renamed Glenrio in 1908, it served motorists on the Ozark Trail and then U.S. Route 66. Fuel was sold on the Texas side to avoid New Mexico's gas tax, while the State Line Bar stood in New Mexico because Deaf Smith County was dry. Interstate 40 bypassed it in September 1973 and it declined from 1975; the Glenrio Historic District was listed on the National Register in 2007 (Wikipedia).
