Wolffarth's earliest recollection of what became downtown Lubbock was in 1884. There were antelope and mustangs grazing in the seas of grass. He brought his own cattle into the county and remained as a permanent settler. In 1891, he was elected as the first clerk of Lubbock County Clerk, a position that he filled for eight years. He resided at the historic [[Nicolett Hotel (Lubbock, Texas)|Nicolett Hotel]] on the courthouse square. In 1898, he acquired 160 acres of land on Blackwater Draw north of Lubbock in order to increase his growing cattle business.<ref name=caprock/>
