Big Spring

Big Spring is best known in West Texas for the historic spring that gave the city its name and supported travel through this dry stretch of the Southern High Plains. Near the southern edge of the Llano Estacado, it serves as the seat of Howard County and an important stop along Interstate 20 and U.S. Route 87. Big Spring State Park occupies Scenic Mountain above the city, while Comanche Trail Park recalls the water source around which the community developed. The restored Hotel Settles, opened in 1930, remains a downtown landmark from the city’s railroad-era growth.
