Post, Texas

Just passed through the small town of Post, Texas, 41 miles southeast of Lubbock.

"Located at the foot of the majestic Caprock that separates the flat Llano Estacado from the rolling hills and canyons that mark the ranching area of West Texas, Post offers a unique history."

"Founded in 1907 by breakfast cereal magnate Charles Williams Post, as his "dream city". His vision drew him to one of the most beautiful locations in West Texas, where the head waters of both arms of the Brazos River join to outline the scenic Caprock escarpment, home of cattle, oil and cotton."

"The area is unmistakably cowboy country that offers a visual surprise of beauty as you approach from any direction. It is so completely different from the High Plains of Texas that you feel like you are in another part of the world."

"An Arts industry has developed in the original city buildings, fulfilling a dream of C.W. Post, of a rich cultural community. Post was awarded a "Main Street City" designation in 1987."

"Downtown buildings having been restored and are now home to unique gift shops and stores. Post is easily reached on either U.S. 84 or 380 where you are always welcome and invited to stay and sit a spell."
