Amarillo

Meer over het boek

The history of Amarillo reveals its dual founding, first established as Oneida in 1887 by J. T. Berry. Concerns about flooding led Henry B. Sanborn to acquire land for a new site, which became crucial when heavy rains in 1889 forced a relocation. This new Amarillo evolved into a major cattle shipping hub in the late 1890s, significantly boosting its population. Today, it stands as the largest city in the Texas Panhandle, with a diverse economy rooted in cattle, agriculture, oil, and natural gas.
