"Floydada was not always the name of the town. In 1890, the community was founded and was originally called Floyd City. But there was already a town named Floyd, so the residents in the newest Floyd City decided to change the name, and they officially incorporated as Floydada in 1909.
Agriculture is the big business in Floydada. Like the rest of the South Plains, Cotton is a big crop, and the town is famous for pumpkins.
Floydada is the pumpkin capital of the United States. Pumpkins bring in big money, both as a major crop and as a reason to have a big party every year that draws thousands of people to the community."
