About Shallowater, TX
Shallowater is a close knit city in Lubbock County that was founded in 1909 as a railroad town along the Santa Fe line, taking its name from the high water table early settlers found just beneath the surface. Today the city is home to nearly 3,000 residents who value its small town character, highly rated schools, and easy access to Lubbock along U.S. Route 84. The city's motto, "Where Texas Pride Runs Deep," reflects the strong community spirit that has helped Shallowater grow steadily while keeping its small town feel.
- Young City Park: This community park, named for longtime residents J.D. and Patsy Young, is home to a veterans memorial and serves as a gathering place for local families.
- Shallowater High School and the Mustangs: Shallowater ISD is a source of major community pride, having produced the 2004 state championship boys' and girls' basketball teams.
