History
A post office was established at South Plains in 1909, several miles from the current location; it was moved twice before reaching the current location in 1927, along the Fort Worth and Denver Railway. The community flourished in the 1920s, with a school and businesses being established, but the coming of the Great Depression led to a decline of population.
