Tulia, County seat in Swisher County, Texas.
Located at the intersection of U.S. Route 87 and Texas State Highway 86, Tulia stands on the Texas Panhandle between Amarillo and Lubbock along Interstate 27.
The city originated in 1887 with a post office on Tule Ranch land, receiving its name through a clerical error that transformed Tule into Tulia.
The Santa Fe railroad arrival in 1906 transformed Tulia into a vital agricultural center, leading to substantial population growth and economic development.
The Tulia Independent School District maintains educational facilities from elementary through high school levels, serving approximately 4,500 residents across 3.5 square miles.
Texas recorded its lowest temperature of -23°F (-31°C) in Tulia during the Great Blizzard of 1899, marking a significant meteorological event.
