Lamb County

Lamb County is an administrative division in northern Texas with eight incorporated towns, Littlefield serving as the county seat. The landscape consists largely of flat agricultural land that extends across the terrain.

The county was established in 1876 and officially organized in 1908, named after George A. Lamb who died at the Battle of San Jacinto. Its creation coincided with westward expansion and shaped early settlement in northern Texas.

Agriculture shapes daily life and community identity throughout the region. Visitors see farmland and ranching operations that define how people work and live here.

Three main highways, US 70, US 84, and US 385, connect the communities and allow passage through the area. Littlefield Municipal Airport provides regional flight options for visitors and residents.

Starting in the 1960s, the water table declined significantly, forcing farmers to rethink their growing methods. This challenge led the region to experiment with new irrigation techniques and more sustainable farming approaches.
