AMARILLO, TEXAS. Amarillo, commercial center of
the Texas Panhandle, is in southern Potter County and extends into Randall
County. When the Fort Worth and Denver City Railway began building across
the Panhandle in 1887, a group of Colorado City merchants chose the site to
establish stores. In April 1887 J. T. Berry arrived from Abilene to plat the
new town. He chose a well-watered section of school land, located along the
FW&DC right-of-way in Potter County, which contained a large playa known as
Amarillo, or Wild Horse, Lake.
