Big Spring is a city located in the U.S. state of Texas at the crossroads of U.S. Highway 87 and Interstate 20; its population of 25,233 (2000 Census) makes it the largest city between Midland to the west, Abilene to the east, Lubbock to the north, and San Angelo to the south. Big Spring was established as the county seat of Howard County in 1882 and is also the largest city in that county.
The city got its name from the single, large spring that issued into a small gorge from between the base of Scenic Mountain and a neighboring hill, in the SW part of the city limits.
The Spring, now dry, was of major importance to all life in the surrounding area. In the early 1840s, it was the center of a territorial dispute between Comanche and Pawnee tribes, and has been a major watering hole for wildlife and prehistoric man in this semi-arid area. (G. Brune, 'Springs of Texas', 1981). -- Source: Wikipedia.com
