Sheffield is an unincorporated community in Pecos County, Texas, United States. It has had a population of 600 at the census of 2000. The first record of European explorer visiting this area comes from 1590, however, the settlement was made much latter. The first settlers arrived in 1886 and the city was slowly established in the decades after that. Local economy was radically altered by the discovery of oil in the 1920s and that led to the local boom. Local resident, Herbert A. Holmes, who came to Sheffield with his family in 1906, began collecting facts, recollections, and photographs about the small community. This collection was turned into a book called Frontier Days in Sheffield,
