Welcome to Tulia

Located in the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, Tulia is a quiet and safe community about halfway between Amarillo and Lubbock. Interstate access makes it close to just about everything-two international airports, two scenic state parks, two universities, sporting events, entertainment venues, the arts, and museums. And it's just a half-day's drive to the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado.

Tulia has a long and proud history as shown in the Swisher County Archives and Museum.  Tulia was designated the county seat in 1890.  Present day, Tulia has a stable and growing economy that provides a wide diversity of employment opportunities ranging from part-time work to entrepreneurial endeavors encouraged by various local and regional entities supporting entrepreneurship.

Tulia has a mild climate with four distinct seasons. Summer temperatures are moderated by the high altitude, with nights significantly cooler than daytime highs. In winter, our typically sunny skies make for pleasant days. Humidity is wonderfully low and the breeze is constant.
