Peacock is an unincorporated community in Stonewall County, Texas, United States. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had an estimated population of 125 in 2000.
Peacock is located 2miles south of U.S. Highway 380 along FM 2211 in west central Stonewall County. The townsite was originally called Alluvia when it was established along the now defunct Stamford and Northwestern Railroad, which stretched from Stamford to Plainview.
