Oil fields and agriculture southeast of Lubbock in Post
Post is a small city on the Great Plains of Texas about 40 miles southeast of Lubbock. Oil fields, agriculture and textiles spurred its growth during the early 20th century. Today, Post’s location at the intersection of two major highways makes it easy for residents to commute to Lubbock. However, the town population, currently around 4,800, has waned in recent years as some residents move to other city centers, says Nick Simpson, Realtor and partner at Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate and Blu Realty, who has five years of experience in the area. “Lots of hunting opportunities, and there’s ranching,” Simpson says. “You still have a lot of agriculture around there as well — cotton, mostly.”
Post welcomes visitors with playful landmarks and a nod to ranching roots.
