== Fun facts ==
* Abernathy is featured in the Branson musical 3 Redneck Tenors as the home of Billy Ray, "The Dead Tenor". A funeral is held for Billy Ray in Abernathy, "The Gateway to Lubbock".
* The developers of the town sites along the new railroad wanted to organize a town on a section 4 miles (6 km) north of the present town of Abernathy. The owners, who lived in Wisconsin, were contacted. They thought there might be gold on the land and refused to sell. Therefore, the last section south in Hale County was chosen as the town site.
* Abernathy has little to offer. It has a municipal airport, dollar stores, a few local restaurants and businesses, Dairy Queen, Subway, Lowe's Market, a campground, a sports complex, a few public battle fields, and that's about it.
