Miles is located in Southwestern Runnels County. It is located between San Angelo and Ballinger.

"In 1888 the Santa Fe Railroad was building a railroad from Ballinger to San Angelo when it ran out of funds at a location which is now the town of Miles. Johnathan Miles made a donation of $5000 to the railroad. In honor of this generous man, the settlement was called Miles Station. In 1905 the name “Station” was dropped and Miles was incorporated."
