== Fun facts ==
* According to the Texas State Historical Association, the community of Floydada was originally named "Floyd City". It was established in 1890 on 640 acres (260 ha) of land donated by James B. and Caroline Price of Jefferson City, Missouri. Floydada won the election as county seat over Della Plain. When a post office opened, the name was changed to "Floydada". The meaning of the name is disputed. Some claim it was meant to be "Floydalia" but was garbled in transmission to the U.S. Postal Service, while others insist it is a combination of the county's name and that of James Price's mother, Ada. A third view is that it was formed from Caroline Price's parents, Floyd and Ada.
* Floydada became an important railroad junction in 1928, when the Quanah, Acme and Pacific Railway reached the town.
* Floydada doesn't have much to offer. It has a municipal airport, Dairy Queen, Subway, Ace Hardware, dollar stores, Lowe's Market, a few local restaurants and businesses, a sports complex, a few public battle fields, an RV park, and not much else.
