History
Wolfforth was established in 1916 and developed as a railroad town when the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway built through the area.
The Wolffarth brothers, George ("Tildy") and Eastin, had settled in the area. George was a rancher, and Eastin was a Lubbock County sheriff circa 1900. The city is named for George (1866–1950) and his wife, (née Charlotte Lottie Alma Hunt, 1879–1952).
