All About Lubbock, TX

Ranked #7,050 in Travel & Places, #192,825 overall

Welcome to Lubbock

Lubbock, Texas, is the home of Texas Tech University and the Buddy Holly Center, Silent Wings, and the National Ranching Heritage Center.

While I had never visited Lubbock, Texas, before attending Texas Tech University, I have found in the years since then that a lot more people have heard of Lubbock than I would have ever thought possible. Lubbock may not be the most popular city in Texas but its fame is spreading!

    I was alive when Buddy Holly sang. I was too young to understand his death, but I loved his music even as a little one
