== Fun facts ==
* According to the Handbook of Texas, the community of Posey was officially founded in 1936 with a population of twenty-five and three businesses. Posey grew to a population of seventy by 1941 and by then it had a church, a school, a grain elevator, and two businesses. The Posey school was consolidated with those of Slaton by the 1960s, and today the community has an active cotton gin, a Lutheran church, and a few scattered homes.
* The town of Ransom Canyon is located within Yellow House Canyon, at the eastern edge of the Llano Estacado. Yellow House Canyon was carved by the North Fork Double Mountain Fork Brazos River. This stream has been dammed multiple times to form Buffalo Springs Lake and Lake Ransom Canyon.
* Lubbock County has been solidly and heavily Republican since the late 1960s, although percentage wise, it doesn't give as much as surrounding counties do. However, since 1968, Democrats have only gotten 30%+ of the county's vote five times - 1968, 1976, 1988, 1996 and 2008.
