History in
a Pecan Shell
Established
in the early 1880s, the name comes from a mott of trees that had a
blusish tint at certain times of day. The town’s grew around a general
store and in 1895 the community acquired its own post office.
The population reached a high-water mark of 240 people in the mid
1920s but entered into a decline after WWII.
The figure of 125 was first used in the mid 1950s and was submitted
for the 2000 census. |
