Amarillo is the 11th-largest city in the U.S. state of Texas and the seat of PotterCounty.[3] A portion of the city, the biggest in the Texas Panhandle, extends into Randall County. As of the 2000 U.S. Census, the city had a total population of 173,627 (though a July 1, 2005 estimate placed the city's population at 183,021). The Amarillo metropolitan area, however, has an estimated population of 236,113 in four counties. The city's population is expected to be 200,000.[4]
Amarillo was originally named Oneida and it is situated in the Llano Estacado region.[5] The availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the Fort Worth and Denver City Railroad contributed the city's growth as a cattle marketing center in the late 19th century.[6] Amarillo is the regional economic center for the Texas Panhandle as well as Eastern New Mexico and the Oklahoma Panhandle.[7]
