Welcome to Hale Center - Hale Center, TX - Artistic Welcome Signs on Waymarking.com

A brick structure frames the mural of a man on a red tractor working in the field. The words "Welcome to Hale Center" are across the top of the mural.

This welcome is along the I-27 access road - one of the few sections of interstate access road that I've seen that is two-way. The access road gives access to Hale Center's Main Street.

Hale Center is on the west side of I-27. It is 33 miles north of Lubbock and 11 miles south of Plainview.

Texas Escapes

"What's not to like about Hale Center? Even the town's founding brought together two rival towns. According to the Handbook of Texas, these towns were named Hale City and Epworth and both were founded the same year of 1891. While Texas has a well-known history of small town rivalry, this is the first case we've heard of where both towns moved homes and buildings to a common location. Since it was a very centralized location, the name Hale Center was given as the requested name for the new post office."
