About Big Spring

Big Spring is a city and the county seat of Howard County, Texas, named after a natural spring that historically served as a vital water source. The park was deeded to the state by the city in the 1930s, featuring retaining walls and a three-mile loop drive constructed of local limestone. The community serves as a regional hub for the southern Great Plains.
