Once a major stop on the fable Route 66, Amarillo Texas offers a glimpse at and older time in
America’s history garnished with a little of the quirky-hip quality of modern Texas. For a slice of Texas tradition
the Amarillo Stockyard holds an auction at 10:00 a.m. every Tuesday. Cowboys from throughout the region come to bid
on steer, bulls and cattle.
For tradition and grub, try the Golden Light Café where they’ve been serving up cheeseburgers and
hand-cut French fries since 1956. The Amarillo Stockyard Café is the place for a hearty western breakfast. Speaking
of hearty, Texas sized appetites are welcome at the Big Texan Steak Ranch, where if you can eat a shrimp cocktail,
a salad and dinner roll, a baked potato and 72 ounces of steak then your dinner is free! You’d better have $50 on
you, just in case.
The San Jacinto District on W 6th Ave. is a great place to spend an afternoon or evening. This area
is a real charmer. Many of the area shops have their original fronts from the 1920’s. It’s a great place to get a
burger, beer or book for the road. It’s also the hub of Amarillo’s nightlife. Visitors can find live music at the
Golden Light Cantina or the Blue Gator Bar & Grill almost every night, often featuring local acts like Roger
Dean or Kickin’ Wookies. To catch bigger-name shows, however, visitors may have to venture out of the district to
venues like Midnight Rodeo or the Amarillo Civic Center Auditorium.

Nations Annual Celtic Festival & Crafts Fair. Celtic music and dance is featured at the Amarillo Tri-State
Fairgrounds. Visitors can fly into the Amarillo International Airport or ride into its Greyhound Bus Depot.

Amarillo, Texas is located in the northern Panhandle region of the state. Amarillo covers ninety
square miles of Texas and has a population of 180,000 residents. The word 'amarillo' is Spanish for yellow. There
are two theories on how this choice was made as the city's name. One is the plentiful wildflowers that dot the
landscape in the spring and summer months. The other is the yellow sand along the shores of nearby lakes and
creeks. Keeping with that theme, Amarillo is known as The Yellow Rose of Texas. Other nicknames the city has
collected over the years are Helium Capital of The World and Beef City.
Amarillo was founded in 1887 and by the late 1890s was one of the world’s cattle shipping points.
By the early 1900s, Amarillo had also become a major feed manufacturing location. In the coming years, the city was
discovered to be rich in natural resources. In 1918 gas was discovered in Amarillo. Three years later oil followed.
In 1927 the US government purchased a helium field in Amarillo, which would be the only producer of commercial
helium in the world for several years. The US Helium Reserve is still stored in a dome located on the original
field.
The area surrounding Amarillo is full of natural attractions. The Palo Duro Canyon State Park is

tools. The Wildcat Bluff Nature Center is comprised of six hundred acres of rolling hills and grassy plains. Giant
cottonwood trees and native wildflowers are also plentiful in the center. Some of the wildlife known to frequent
the center are hawks and horned toads.
