Lubbock is a city in northwest Texas known as the birthplace of rock ’n’ roll legend Buddy Holly. The Buddy Holly Center celebrates his life and music with artifacts and mementos. Nearby is the West Texas Walk of Fame, with a statue of Holly and plaques honoring musicians from the region. The Museum of Texas Tech University houses millions of objects of art, history and paleontology, plus the Moody Planetarium.
Lubbock was built on a thriving farming industry and made great strides in the cotton industry as well. Today, Lubbock continues to produce two to three million bales of cotton per year, but is known as much more than a farming city.
Lubbock comes from the humble beginnings of tall grasses and roaming buffalo when it was first discovered by the infamous Spanish explorer, Coronado. On his search for the “City of Gold”, he first named the land where Lubbock now sits the Llano Estacado. Lubbock was officially named a city in 1902, which was the same year the first train from Plainview entered the town. Twenty-one years later in 1923, Lubbock citizens fought to win the bid to establish Texas Technological College – now Texas Tech University.
Today, Texas Tech University brings the energy of a young college town into the friendly city of Lubbock. As a member of the Big XII Conference, the school provides ample opportunities to watch great teams compete in football, basketball, volleyball and more.
Aside from being the home of Texas Tech University, Lubbock is famous for the musical acts that hail from the city like Buddy Holly or Waylon Jennings, fine dining, museums, a rich art and culture scene but also for its friendly, hospitable atmosphere. A visit to Lubbock provides all the conveniences and excitement of a city, but with charm of a close-knit town and the neighborly affection of an old friend.
