Southland, Texas

Southland is an unincorporated community in Garza County, Texas, United States.

It lies along the eastern edge of the Llano Estacado on U.S. Route 84, twenty miles northwest of Post.

[3] As a result, the community entered a period of limited prosperity and by 1911 had been granted a post office.

By 1960, however, this had dropped to under 200 and half of its eleven businesses had closed their doors, as the demand for agricultural work had slowed and shifted elsewhere, forcing many Southlanders to follow.

Today, Southland remains a rural farming community with an estimated 2000 population of just under 160 residents.
