Located in the Texas Panhandle and bordered by New Mexico and Oklahoma, Amarillo was first settled in 1887. The name, Amarillo, was taken from the Spanish language meaning "yellow," because of the color of the sub-soil in the channel of the Amarillo Creek. In the early days, most of the houses were painted yellow to commemorate the name.

Amarillo city officials are excited about such plans as a new national research laboratory to devise peaceful uses for plutonium and the relocation of two aerospace firms into the area is also adding to the optimism of Amarillo's future. Health-care related business growth will be fueled by Texas Tech University's newly opened pharmacy school and the possibility that a children's hospital may be added to the 450-acre regional medical center complex.
