Pampa at a glance
What makes Pampa different: Pampa boomed after the 1926 Worley-McReynolds oil discovery in the Panhandle Field and remains anchored by oil and natural gas production plus petrochemical processing; folk musician Woody Guthrie lived here from 1929 to 1937, and the Woody Guthrie Folk Music Center now occupies the former Harris Drug Store where he once worked.
