Wellington

Wellington is located southeast of Amarillo between Shamrock and Childress along US 62/83 near the Oklahoma border. The seat of Collingsworth County, Wellington has continued as a ranching and farming center, with several gins and grain elevators.

Located there are manufacturers of mattresses, concrete, and railroad spikes.
