Amarillo ( /ˌæməˈrɪloʊ/[5] AM-ə-RIL-oh; Spanish for "yellow") is a city in the U.S. state of Texas and the seat of Potter County. It is the 14th-most populous city in Texas and the largest city in the Texas Panhandle.[6] A portion of the city extends into Randall County. The estimated population of Amarillo was 199,371 as of 2019.[7] The Amarillo metropolitan area had an estimated population of 269,447 as of 2019,[8] and the Amarillo-Pampa-Borger combined statistical area a population of 308,064.[9]
The city of Amarillo, originally named Oneida, is situated in the Llano Estacado region.[10] The availability of the railroad and freight service provided by the Fort Worth and Denver City Railroad contributed to the city's growth as a cattle-marketing center in the late 19th century.[11]
Amarillo was once the self-proclaimed "Helium Capital of the World" for having one of the country's most productive helium fields.[12] The city is also known as "The Yellow Rose of Texas" (as the city takes its name from the Spanish word for yellow),[13] and most recently "Rotor City, USA" for its V-22 Osprey hybrid aircraft assembly plant. Amarillo operates one of the largest meat-packing areas in the United States. Pantex, the only nuclear weapons assembly and disassembly facility in the country, is also a major employer. The location of this facility also gave rise to the nickname "Bomb City".[14] The attractions Cadillac Ranch and Big Texan Steak Ranch are located adjacent to Interstate 40. U.S. Highway 66 also passed through the city.
