WHEELER, TEXAS. Wheeler, the county seat of Wheeler County, is at the junction of U.S. Highway 83 and State Highway 152, near the geographical center of the county. Both the town and the county were named after Royal T. Wheeler.The vicinity was first settled by ranchers as early as 1881, and by 1886 five families lived there. The town had its real beginning in 1904 through the enterprise of two ranchers, Robert B. Rogers and J. E. Stanley, who surveyed the land, built their homes on the site, and began the movement to choose a centrally located county seat in preference to Mobeetie. Rogers became the first wheelermaster of Wheeler and also had the first telephone.
 

City Drug Bed & Breakfast
Charming and historic City Drug Store in Wheeler, Texas, was re-built in 1924 after the original wooden structure burned. The cement block structure served the community as a  "drug store" and "soda shop" for the next fifty years.  In the early 30s the first floor was enlarged for doctors offices and The second story was added to serve as the town's first hospital. In the 40s a new hospital was built and the second floor was converted into apartments. Many couples began married life on the second floor of the City Drug Store.  In the 50s the apartments were abandoned and the second floor remained unused for the fifty years. The City Drug Store continued in business until 1973. The building was vacated in 1993 and remained empty until new owners bought the building and began remodeling the building for the "City Drug Bed & Breakfast Hotel."
