What Texas city’s name is Spanish for yellow?
Plano
San Antonio
Amarillo
El Paso
Amarillo proudly claims its position as the 14th most populous city in Texas and stands as the uncontested urban center of the Texas Panhandle. The town was originally named “Oneida,” but soon changed to Amarillo, a Spanish word signifying “yellow,” inspired by the richly hued soil along Amarillo Creek’s banks and the profusion of golden wildflowers that grace the landscape during spring and summer. Most of the town’s first houses were painted yellow to commemorate the name change. The city is also affectionately known as “The Yellow Rose of Texas.”
Correct Answer: Amarillo
