The city of Lubbock began as a compromise between two smaller settlements known as Lubbock and Monterey. These settlements agreed to combine on December 19, 1890, and by 1891 the combined settlement was elected the new county seat as farmers, ranchers, and settlers began to arrive. In 1909, Lubbock incorporated as a city, and the Santa Fe Railroad sent its first train south from Plainview. The Texas Legislature authorized the establishment of Texas Technological College in 1923, and Lubbock won the regional contest for the new university�s location. Today Lubbock is the 10th-largest city in Texas, with an estimated population of 230,000. The Lubbock economy thrives on agriculture, education, manufacturing, and health industries.
