This city was named for the early herds of the Hereford cattle. The city is now the seat of Deaf Smith County, which was named for Deaf Smith who commanded Sam Houston's scouts at the Battle of San Jacinto. The town is called by some as the "town without a toothache", due to the low incidence of dental decay attributed to the natural fluorides in the munipal water supply.
