James Joshua Head (1839–1927) founded Headland in 1871 as “Head’s Land”. He patented land, plotted the town and built his home. The post office opened, as “Headland”, on October 10, 1871 and established Headland as an official community. The city was incorporated later in 1884. This year marks the 150th Anniversary or the Sesquincentennial of our city. 

 

We will be celebrating our anniversary with events and activities and encourage our community to participate. The City of Headland will be organizing an Ag Parade to celebrate our rich agricultural heritage the afternoon of July 4th before our Annual Fireworks Display in Douglas Park. Mark your calendars to celebrate our city and country this Summer.

Celebrate Headland’s 150th at our first ever Ag Parade! The City of Headland has teamed up with the Headland Area Chamber of Commerce to celebrate our anniversary and our rich agricultural heritage with a parade on the Fourth of July before our Annual Fireworks show in Douglas Park. The Ag parade will begin at 5pm and wind through downtown Headland on its way to Douglas Park featuring GIANT farm equipment and ending with the signature Corndodgers Candy Cannon. Join us on the square for face painting, balloons, snow cones and more! The Annual Fireworks Show will begin at 8:45pm but will begin when it is best to see the sky lit up at night.
