There are organizations such as the Earth Lions Club, Senior Citizens, and Wolverine Booster Club. All meet regularly and help promote our community. Also, there are five churches which meet weekly:

Today, Earth consists of several businesses and a state recognized school. The businesses range from a farm supply to a flower shop to several restaurants.

The community continued to grow and many businesses emerged. The town's population hit its peak in 1980 at 1,512. This economic growth was due, in part, to the development of irrigation on the farms and the establishement of Plant X, an electrical plant three miles south of Earth.

Established in 1924 by William E. Halsell, Earth was first called "Tulsa," but the postal authorities rejected this name. Although it is not clear how the name Earth was chosen, most people believe that a local resident, O. H. Reeves, suggested the name "Good Earth" because of the fertile soil in the surrounding area. However, the name was shortened to Earth and a post office was estabished on May 25, 1925.

Earth, Texas is a small farming community located approximately 70 miles northwest of Lubbock, 90 miles southwest of Amarillo, 45 miles west of Plainview, and 40 miles east of the Texas/New Mexico line. State Highway 70 and Farm Road 1055 intersect at the only stop light in this northwestern Lamb county town.

During the day, you will find senior citizens at the Dairy Queen drinking coffee and catching up on news. Also, high school students enjoy socializing there every Friday in the fall months after pep rallies.

The Dairy Queen opened in the early 1970s. They serve American favorites such as hamburgers and french fries as well as chicken strip baskets and tacos. You may remember our Dairy Queen commercial in 1989. That was probably one of the most exciting things that ever happened in Earth.

Earth has a few eating places that have been around for several years. If you visit Earth, you may want to try these.

The Earth Locker is locally owned and operated by Carlos Duran and his family. They butcher meat and serve barbeque brisket and beef jerky to the public each Saturday at noon. They also cater many functions.

The Wolverine is a family owned restaurant that has been around since 1927. They serve home-cooked meals that will satisfy anyone's appetite. The Wolverine is also a favorite hangout for retired men in our community.
