Lubbock's nickname, "Hub City," derives from it being the economic, educational, and health-care hub of the multicounty region, north of the Permian Basin and south of the Texas Panhandle, commonly called the South Plains.[10] The area is the largest contiguous cotton-growing region in the world[11][12] and is heavily dependent on water from the Ogallala Aquifer for irrigation.


Lubbock is home to Texas Tech University, the sixth-largest college by enrollment in the state.
