History
Ransom Canyon was established as a housing development project in the mid-1960s by Chapman and Chapman of Lubbock. It was developed from Johnston Ranch's 576 acres - the original ranch contained more than 100,000 acres. The region's original name, "Canyon of Ransom," comes from the fact that Spanish and Anglo traders negotiated with the Comanches to return the hostages in this location. On December 12, 1977, Ransom Canyon was incorporated. It had previously been known as "The Village of Lake Ransom Canyon." In April 1984, a vote to rename Lake Ransom Canyon to Ransom Canyon took place.
