History
The community was named for president Woodrow Wilson.[1] There was a lot of debate at first over naming the town Wilson or Woodrow, but supporters of Woodrow prevailed. In the 1930s, the hamlet had a church, an industry, and a dispersed housing stock. Woodrow had 100 residents and four enterprises in 1948. There were no recorded companies in 1971, and the population was 80. Woodrow operated four churches, a gin, a general store, and a shop that repaired farm equipment in the late 1980s. A huge cemetery and a tiny business sector separated about twenty-five homes. The population was 85 in 1990. In 2000, the population did not change.[2] It might have been named Woodrow because there is already a Wilson in neighboring Lynn County.
The 1970 Lubbock tornado caused a thunderstorm to form near Woodrow.[3] Another F0 tornado struck Woodrow on April 30, 2013. The brief landspout tornado formed along an outflow boundary from a nearby microburst and remained over open fields, causing no damage.[4]

Eventually, a consensus was reached on consolidation, and District One trustees were chosen. The $84,000 Cooper School became a hybrid elementary and high school when work on it started in 1936.[2] Today, Woodrow is served by the Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District. Lubbock-Cooper South Elementary School is in the community.
