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.
