Hockley County, Texas
Pettit
Pettit located on Farm Road 303 twelve miles north of Levelland in northwestern Hockley County, on land that was once part of the Yellow House and Slaughter ranches. It was named for John Pettit, who established a ranch in the area in 1922. The community developed as other families settled in the vicinity. Joe Bryant started the town's first store in 1926, and Jim Mason built a gin in 1929.
