The city takes its name from a <a href="/wiki/Dry_lake" title="Dry lake">dry lake</a>, a unique dryland plains geographic feature located approximately two miles south of the city, through which <a href="/wiki/Texas_State_Highway_137" title="Texas State Highway 137">St Hwy 137</a> passes. The dry lake, with no outlet, is more than two <a href="/wiki/Section_(United_States_land_surveying)" title="Section (United States land surveying)">sections</a> in size, making it the largest in Texas; it impounds water temporarily after high-runoff rain events, being used for grazing the remainder of the time. Though seasonal and temporal, the "big playa lake", in wet periods, is significant in a semiarid, drought-frequented environment and has been utilized regularly as a food and water resource by man and animal, alike, since prehistoric times. </p><p>Started as a small ranching community in the late 1880s, Big Lake owes its original existence to the <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City,_Mexico_and_Orient_Railway" title="Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway">Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway</a>, which passed through the area in 1912, as it was extended from Sherwood, west of <a href="/wiki/San_Angelo,_Texas" title="San Angelo, Texas">San Angelo</a>, to Girvin and beyond the <a href="/wiki/Pecos_River" title="Pecos River">Pecos River</a>. The growth from the railroad, coupled with that from the Santa Rita discovery well in 1923, allowed it, in 1925, to take over the position of county seat from <a href="/wiki/Stiles,_Texas" title="Stiles, Texas">Stiles</a>, a pioneer ranching community established in 1894 on Centrailia Draw, about 20 miles to the north. The main highway through the area, <a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_67_in_Texas" title="U.S. Route 67 in Texas">US 67</a>, was extended through the region in 1934, on the way to its terminus in <a href="/wiki/Presidio,_Texas" title="Presidio, Texas">Presidio</a>. The city's current existence is based on agriculture (some farming, but mostly ranching) and oil and gas service and production throughout the area. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Big_Lake,_Texas&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1919, Rupert Ricker began the process of leasing 674 <a href="/wiki/Section_(United_States_land_surveying)" title="Section (United States land surveying)">sections</a> of <a href="/wiki/University_of_Texas" class="mw-redirect" title="University of Texas">University of Texas</a> land, part of their <a href="/wiki/Permanent_University_Fund_(Texas)" class="mw-redirect" title="Permanent University Fund (Texas)">Permanent University Fund</a>.
