Claude is a city in Armstrong County, Texas, United States. The population was 1,313 at the 2000 census. Located east of Amarillo, Claude is the county seat of Armstrong County in the south Texas Panhandle. Claude is part of the Amarillo Metropolitan Statistical Area but is some thirty miles east of Amarillo.
During the 1930s several neighboring rural schools were consolidated with the Claude district. For years Claude had the only official-size gymnasium in the area, and the West Texas State College (now West Texas A&M University) basketball team used it on numerous occasions. In 1930 Claude had a population of 1,041. By 1940 its population had fallen to 761. In 1953 a new county jail was constructed out of the stones from the old one. The proximity of Claude to Amarillo and the nearby Pantex Ordnance Plant (see PANTEX, TEXAS) has enabled it to maintain a stable population.
