Amarillo

Elevation : 3,676
Population : 176,066

The cowboy town of Amarillo dates back to 1887, when railroading and cattle dominated the economy. Once the fencing of ranges began, the town became the world’s leading cattle shipping market, and wheat farmers turned Amarillo into a major wheat belt. Here in the northern reaches of the Texas Panhandle, the skies are bluer and the air is pristine–cleaner than any in the nation for a city of its size.
Amarillo has a unique Western heritage, excellent shopping, famous dining, and over 100 holes of quality public golf without the big-city crowds.
