The White Deer Land Company Museum, which showcases ranching exhibits, is located in downtown Pampa.

A rail station and telegraph office were built, and the townsite was laid out by George Tyng, manager of the White Deer Lands ranch.

The former base is located near the intersection of SH 152 and FM 1474, about 10 miles east of the town.

On June 8, 1995, a violent tornado hit the industrial section on the west side of Pampa, destroying or damaging about 250 businesses and homes.

It resulted in $30 million in damage and was the costliest and the most destructive tornado on record for this town.

The racial makeup of the city was 80.9% White, 3.3% Black, 0.8% American Indian or Alaskan Native, 0.4% Asian, had 2.6% reporting two or more races.

KHNZ 101.3 FM is a classic country station owned by Route 66 Media of Shamrock.

The Lovett Memorial Library was built on the entire west half of the 100 block of North Houston Street.

In January 1998, the library staff, along with all books and much equipment, moved from the Houston Street facility to the old B. M. Baker school on the south side, where the library was set up in the cafeteria and classroom annex in the south part of the school complex.

The children's area was moved to the second floor; a bridge was built between the second floor facility and other children's rooms in the south part of the building; an elevator was installed; new shelves, lighting, and ceiling tiles were installed; and the building was made completely ADA compliant.

In June 2003, it was announced that R. L. Franklin, prominent rancher of Pampa, would donate two statues to the library to honor the 50th anniversary of the opening of the building in January 1955.

One statue, by Don Ray of Channing, represents a seated woman reading to a child; this is erected in front of the library.

Another statue representing a Pioneer Woman was by David Frech of New York was placed in the library's Reading Garden.

Both statues were dedicated to four local women, including the donor's mother, each of whom had a long involvement with the library.

The statues were dedicated on January 9, 2005, and at one of the dedicatory events, author Elmer Kelton was the guest speaker.
