Big Spring has long been known as the crossroads of West Texas. The city is is named for the 'big spring' in Sulphur Draw, a historical watering place for coyotes, wolves, and herds of buffalo, antelope, and mustangs. It is town of about 33,627, with a large part of the economy based on public-sector institutions such as prisons, a regional VA Hospital and a state mental hospital. Although the decline in oil revenues has dramatically affected the entire region, the employment rate is high and cost-of-living relatively low.
