Lott is a city in Falls County, Texas, United States.
By 1892 Lott had Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches, two cotton gins and gristmills, a weekly newspaper, and 350 residents.
Lott's economy received an additional boost in the 1920s when State Highway 44 (later U.S. 77) built through the community.
Cotton and corn were for many years the staple crops of area farmers, but government subsidies encouraged diversification into stock raising and truck farming.
Lott lost its rail service in 1967, when the Southern Pacific abandoned the section of track between Waco and Rosebud.
Population estimates for Lott fluctuated between 750 and 950 residents from the 1960s through the 1980s, and the number of businesses fell steadily, from 45 in the 1940s to 12 in the 1980s.
In June 2015, a TV station reported that the cities of Calvert, Franklin, Hearne, and Lott in a "Texas Triangle" were using their police departments to issue numerous speeding tickets to turn their municipal court into a "cash cow".
