Area Travel - AmericInn^® of Pampa, TX

Welcome to Pampa and Beautiful Texas!

History of Pampa, Gray County, Texas:
In 1888 a telegraph station on the Southern Kansas Railroad developed here, and was named Glasgow. Renamed Sutton a year later, a post office was established in 1892 and the town was named Pampa by George Tyng(d.1906), manager of the White Deer Land Company. The first school opened in 1906 and and the first church was organized in 1906. J.N. Duncan (1858-1941) became Pampa's first mayor in 1912. Following a 1920's oil boom, the County seat was moved here from Lefors in 1928.

The AmericInn of Pampa has an indoor pool and whirlpool plus a pool table, ping pong table and foosball table in the pool area.  We have shuffle board on the patio, a ring toss game and covered picnic tables with an outdoor grill located at the back of the hotel.  There is also a bike trail located directly behind the hotel.  If you follow the trail it leads to the Super Playground.
