About Abernathy, TX

The Santa Fe Railroad wanted to follow a straight line from Plainview to Lubbock. A straight-line survey was run and it went east of the present site of Abernathy. This route did not please the residents of Hale Center, which had been established since the 1890s. They influenced the Santa Fe to come southwest out of Plainview to serve them, and from there the Santa Fe followed an approximate straight line into Lubbock. The developers of the town sites along the new railroad wanted to organize a town on a section 4 miles (6 km) north of the present town of Abernathy.
