Littlefield

Littlefield, the county seat of Lamb County, is on U.S. Highway 84, Farm Road 54, and the Santa Fe line in the south-central part of the county. It was named for George W. Littlefield, who divided his Yellow House Ranch and formed a land company when surveys showed that the new Santa Fe line from Coleman, TX to Texico, NM would pass through his land. Arthur P. Duggan, husband of Littlefield's niece, helped to lay out land tracts and became the sales manager. In 1913, the site became a station on the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway. A school, supported for several years by the Littlefield Land Company, was established.
