Happy is a town in Randall and Swisher counties.  The name comes from Happy Draw--a watercourse discovered and named by thirsty cowboys. Hugh Currie is credited with establishing the town's post office near Happy Draw in 1891.  It was also the site of a stage horse-changing station.  In 1906 the Santa Fe Railroad extended its line south from Canyon and bypassed Happy.  Promoters laid out a town by the tracks two miles to the west, and their efforts attracted settlers from the Midwest. The town name followed the people.  The newspaper was the Happy News.  In 1940 the town reported a population of 576, and two grain elevators constituted the skyline. In 1984 Happy had a population of 674 and twenty-seven businesses, most of them related to farming. The number of businesses dropped to fourteen and the residents to 588 by 1990. In 2000 the population had increased to 647, and there were forty-eight businesses in the town.  There used to be a sign on the edge of town that Happy was "The Town Without a Frown."
