You're Always Welcome Home: There's a lot to say about our hometown.  Ralls is where we hang our hat and pull off our boots. Take care of our neighbors and raise good families.


This is Our Town

Ralls, Texas is a perfect place for retiring or starting out in life.  We are proud to be a small town centered around agriculture emphasizing on the cotton farming industry.  We are an ideal location to start a business and minutes away from downtown Lubbock, Texas and the Lubbock International Airport.  Our town is a one mile square and the hub of the East Plains. We are ideally located on the Cross Roads of hwy 207 and 62/82 linking four counties; also known as the back roads from Lubbock to Dallas. 

We are "Sophistically Texan."  Small enough to have the home town feel and large enough to have everything you look for in a community.

Some people think that we are too small, or that that the land is too flat; in-fact we are one of the few places you can see the entire circumference of the earth...well that’s just perfect for cotton farming.

Growing up in a Cotton Town you look to see which farmer was the “King” of “King Cotton.”   Ralls is an Oasis surrounded by some 250,000 acres of cotton. 

Cotton farms are our bread and butter; however Ralls is a progressive city reaching out for new ideas and businesses.  Although we are a bedroom community to Lubbock we have our own culture, style and identity.

Ralls Independent School District prides itself in having excellent facilities and educators with a unique mascot “Home of the Fighting Jackrabbits.”  Ralls  has many organizations, civic clubs and churches to choose from.
