Arno is a ghost town in Reeves [County, Texas|Reeves County], Texas, United States.

History

Situated near the Pecos River and on Texas [State Highway 302] and the Atchison, Topeka and [Santa Fe Railway], Arno was settled in the early 20th century. A post office operated from 1907 to 1915, with Ola Solman serving as postmistress. At its peak in the 1930s, the population was 10 and it had one business, making it a rival to nearby Orla. Residents began to leave Arno in the 1940s, and the town was abandoned by the 1950s.
